Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rsyncrypto
I use rsnapshot for backups, which creates hardlinks for files that did
not change between snapshots. I would like to store these snapshots on
an offsite server and encrypt them with rsyncrypto. But because
rsyncrypto treats each link to the file as a separate file, the backup
size explodes.
Wrapping some code around rsyncrypto that feeds only one copy of the
file to it and reconstructs the hard links is quite painfull ;-)
