Short of taking a disk image, no. But once it's mounted it's no
different from any other partition, so there's nothing to stop you
rsynching to another encrypted partition or creating an encrypted
archive.

How do you backup an encrypted geli partition?

2007-07-18 Thread Neil Gruending

Hi there,

If I created an encrypted partition using geli, is it possible back it
up to another machine and still keep in encrypted? I want to use geli
for my subversion repository and then back it up to an offsite host
(hopefully using something like rsync).

Thanks!
