For machines you have the keys for: # tarsnap --nuke --keyfile /path/to/machine/keys If you've lost the keys to a machine, send me an email off-list and I can nuke them for you. > For the ones we have the keys for, is it possible to run the command to > nuke their storage for an active server, without nuking the data of the > server? Or do we run this from an Mac/Ubuntu client machine? I'm not sure what this means. Running `tarsnap --nuke` with a particular set of keys will delete all the data associated with those keys; it doesn't matter what system uploaded the data in the first place. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
