Hi all,
I recently came across a possible requirement of backing up certainfiles on a remote server ... in an encrypted format.
This got me seriously thinking about the possibility of doing such a thing with rsync.
I am not too knowledgable about encryption and the mechanisms of the rsync

The idea is that data stored on the remote server would be unreadable to the
people on that side, but can be decrypted when rsyncing back to the local
server in case of data loss.
In that case encyption will have to take place before transmission
anyway. Else you do
In order for the rsync algorithm to work,
both sides have to be looking at data in the same format (i.e. both either
process encrypted data or unencrypted data). If you want a true public
key/private key system, then the only way to do it is to encrypt and decrypt on
the client side. That
Hi guys
I have experimented with a similar approach, in my case the backup server does
'pull' of data, using rsync+ssh, saving it into a encryopted loopback file
system image.
At the moment I am experimenting with a linux metadevices based encrypted file
