2007-12-06 Thread Foo Bar

Can someone please tell me whether I can use the Rescue CD to restore encrypted backups? According to the docs the precompiled/packaged versions don't have OpenSSL support but it doesn't say for the Knoppix subdir. Since all my backups are encrypted, how do I do a bare metal recovery if there is
