To automatically encrypt the file volume you will have to put a command in the "run_after" file. (see my previous email for howto link). As far as performance hits - below is a set of benches from a while back.: (this is on single Xeon 2.8 EM64T, 1 Gig RAM with RAID5 running Gentoo in two separate 64 and 32 bit installs) GnuPG 1.4.2 Benchmarks (symmetric encryption, no compress) 4.0 Gig backup file GnuPG-64 | GnuPG-32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- twofish (256) 253s (16.2 mbps) | 257s (15.9 mbps) aes (128) 310s (13.2 mbps) | 278s (14.7 mbps) aes192 318s (12.8 mbps) | 288s (14.2 mbps) aes256 325s (12.6 mbps) | 311s (13.2 mbps) OpenSSL 0.9.7-r2 Benchmarks 4.0 Gig backup file OpenSSL-64 | OpenSSL-32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- aes (128) 164s (25.0 mbps) | 163s (25.1 mbps) aes192 166s (33.9 mbps) | 168s (24.4 mbps) aes256 173s (23.5 mbps) | 179s (22.9 mbps) Please note, that Bacula's native implementation of OpenSSL will be a lot slower (10 times?) because it calculates signatures for each file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
