Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use unique encryption key pair per job.

Technically that would be possible, but I would do a lot to not have to set up, manage and maintain such a thing -- you'd need a bit of extra tooling around the Bacula-FD itself.

I even see a nice feature request -- use a similar approach to create key material we use with SD encryption on the FD, and add support for per-job keys like that. But that would not be something you can use this month, I guess.

My use case is that sometimes I am writing a manual long term (5-10Y) off-site job. These tapes are in a sense WORM tapes where I will never reuse/write to them again. From security standpoint, a unique encryption key pair would really help me.

Do you have particular reasons why volume encryption by the SD would not be suitable?

Any advice is much appreciated.

As long as we're just talking, I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas and brainstorming ;-)

Cheers,

Arno

Jakub
