Hi list!

I'm in need of a backup tool and an advice would be helpful because I need some special functionality.

I want to make backups from my laptop to a cardreader (pcmcia), making daily full and hourly incremental backups *if the card is plugged in* (which might not be the case for as long as two days).

Additionally I need some kind of encryption. The key could reside on my home partition which is encrypted itself and maybe pam-mount + luks is a solution but I'd like to hear some opinions on that topic.

If no one comes up with a better solution, I think two cronjobs with tar, gpg and find will do it, don't you think? The alternative would be rdiff-backup with some kind of encrypted and possibly compressed file system.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answers, so far. I'll play around with it as soon as the hardware arrives.
