I have a non-encrypted file system. I would like to transfer/backup the files to a remote locations, which is possibly not trusted. Therefore, I would like to mount my non-encrypted rootfs i.e. to /mnt/crypt, where the whole rootfs would be seen as encrypted files. From /mnt/crypt, I could transfer crypted files with standard tools like rsync or ftp, to a possibly non-secure, remote location. Even if the remote site is compromised, the files are encrypted, so the harm is limited. Then, if I ever want to restore the files from backup, I would just fetch them from the backup into /secret, and do: mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret Can I do something like that with eCryptfs? -- Tomasz Chmielewski ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ eCryptfs-users mailing list eCryptfs-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ecryptfs-users
