Hello there,
latest dev version no do support gocryptfs encryption for local
profiles. Now I am working on reshaping the GUI in that context and
updateting all the EncFS-warnings.
BIT won't implement a migration feature. But I would like to offer a
migration guide (like a wiki page, manual, FAQ, etc) about how to
migrate EncFS backups/snapshots to an gocryptfs backup profile?
Maybe someone would like to test and document this process?
There is an old migration guide from the gocryptfs community about encfs
to gocryptfs.
<https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/wiki/Upgrading>
I can imagine these steps in context of BIT. But I have not tested it.
1. Having a local encfs profile with several backups in BIT.
2. Create a new fresh "local gocryptfs" profile.
3. Close BIT. Do everything in terminal.
4. Mount and encrypt the encfs profile directory.
5. Moutn and encrypt the gocrypt fs profile directory.
6. Using tar/rsync/or something else to copy everything from the old
into the new profile directory.
7. Unmount/close both directories.
8. Start BIT with the new gocryptfs profile. Now you might see all
backups there?
Is it that "easy"?
Regards,
Christian
