This is generally considered a bad idea. If you lose the encryption keys, your backups are now completely useless. If you lost your decryption software; your backups are entirely useless. The delay in gettng the decryption system running, the keys out of their sage storage is time lost in recovery. In some cases, this is multiple millions of dollars. While encryption can keep the bad guys out, it can also prevent legitimate access. Is this what you want to base your disaster recovery around? -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
