Hi all, A while back I announced "Rsyncrypto", a rsync friendly encryption system. With version 0.11 just out, and proving reasonably usable in and on its own right, we now have an independent mailing list discussing just rsyncrypto. I have therefor allowed myself this one last notice to this list. All further rsyncrypto related anno...

Hi All, I am using rsync to backup our office server to our Internet server (RHE). As an association for doctors we are looking at providing a backup service for their practices using rsync. As it would be patient data it would need to be encrypted. I have found a few options, namely esync wurt rsyncrypto Does anyone have experience with the above and perhaps like to recommend one? On the client side we are on Windows boxes using cygwin.

Hi all, I'm sorry if this is off topic here. I'll send this one anyways, but do let me know if you are interested in related project's release announcements so that I don't spam this list unnecessarily in the future. rsyncrypto is a utility that encrypts file in a rsync friendly way. Small changes to the plain text file will result in small changes to the cypher text file. The encryption takes place as a preprocessing step to rsyncing the content, and is performed entirely on one side of the connection. The other side...

I don't know if this is the propper place to ask for new funcionality, but after searching the website i didn't find another place to do it. I'm very sorry if I`m asking this in the wrong place. It would be greatful to have crypting funcionality added to rsync, appart from using ssh to crypt transmissions. I know this is not the original purpose for rsync, but anyway it's a fact

Moin, I wrote a backup script, that use rsync and its hardlink features. Now I want to implement a new feature to my script: crypt the backuped files. But I wonder how this can be done? Because rsync check if the source file is different from the target file. But the target file will be allways different if it is crypt; right? Any idea? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4615 --- Comment #2 from Shachar Shemesh <shachar at shemesh.biz> --- What you're asking for is currently possible with an external utility, called rsyncrypto (http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com). It, in fact, does not require you to trust the server you're storing your backups on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

In the archives I see the question about encrypted destination and it's mostly answered with the --source-filter / --dest-filter patch by Kyle Jones. There are also some proposed updates to the patch. A lot of these posts 3 years old, is there plans or reasons not to include them in the main line code? // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE><

Hi there Is there a way with rsync to encrypt data at the source before transmitting? Not talking about the actually transmission, but the data itself. I've got a few department heads that want their data secured before it leaves their computer so that no one in the office can access the data except for them. Thanks.

Hi all, I am using rsync to sync a directory tree of ~2 million files. I am using rsyncrypto with filename encryption to encrypt the files before syncing. When encrypting filenames, rsyncrypto assigned each file a filename which is made of hex digits. It also has the option to put the files in directories, where the location of the file is determined by the file's name and a parameter...

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D

Hi all, I recently came across a possible requirement of backing up certain files 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 algorithm (at least as yet :), but I would like to know whether this is attainable or 'far fetched'

Hi, all - I've been digging into the question of using rsync to sync up compressed data, and read with interest the conversations regarding the rsync friendly patch available for gzip (I belive Rusty provided this patch). For anyone interested, the message thread is archived at http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2002-June/thread.html. The broad outline of this approach were mentioned in
