But when you restore it to the same place in your filesystem and mount as usual, it should decyprt properly. >So the question ... > >Can you help me? Do you make backup of your >encfs file system? I use rsync to backup my encrypted files. If I restore (as I have had to do once), it all works properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
