Hi, I'd like to create encrypted backups onto a remote server in such a way that the remote server never sees anything unencrypted. The idea would be to sync my home directory onto a local drive (using rsync or rdiff-backup) into a directory that gets encrypted by ecryptfs, then rsync that encrypted directory up to a remote server via ssh:
(A) Simple mirror: % sudo mount -t ecryptfs /drive/encrypt /drive/decrypt % rsync -av --delete /home/john /drive/decrypt % sudo umount -i /drive/decrypt % rsync -av --delete -e ssh /drive/encrypt [email protected]:/backup (B) Mirror with increments using rdiff-backup: % sudo mount -t ecryptfs /drive/encrypt /drive/decrypt % rdiff-backup /home/john /drive/decrypt % sudo umount -i /drive/decrypt % rsync -av --delete -e ssh /drive/encrypt [email protected]:/backup (C) Use sshfs to mount the remote encrypted backup & decrypt it locally: % sshfs [email protected]:backup /remote-encrypt % sudo mount -t ecryptfs /remote-encrypt /remote-decrypt % cd /remote-decrypt How well would any of these scenarios work with ecryptfs? Would enabling filename encryption be a viable option?
