I use ccrypt from http://ccrypt.sourceforge.net to encrypt databases before storing them on removable media for offsite storage. Platform is a Sun Ultra 45 running Solaris 10 and the command looks something like, mysqldump db_name | bzip2 | ccrypt -e -k keyfile | ... (Note the bzip2 in the pipeline. This reduces the size of the files by a factor of between 5-8.) It's certainly more than fast enough for my needs. I suspect most of the time is taken up by mysqldmp and writing the ouput to the external media. -- TTFN Philip Riebold, p.rieb...@ucl.ac.uk -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
