similar to: crypting remote data

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><

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:

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

Hello! At first, i want to run the latest HandBrake (version 0.93) on a Mac with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). The problem is, that Handbrake is developed for Mac OS 10.5 (XCode SDK is not compatible to Mac OS 10.4 one). So i decided to try it with wine/darwine. Because wine is better supported on Linux and you can get easier newer version (apt-get), i decided to run HandBrakeCLI.exe on Debian Etch

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'

I use a solution to crypt a string that I found using OpenSSL. But the crypted string becomes very long, too long for a varchar 255 to hold it. What can I do to make it shorter? Or should I just use text as column in the mysql db? public_key_file = ''lib/public.pem'' public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read(public_key_file)) @encrypted_string =

I received the following error on the client when testing the pre2 release. I'm not sure what it means or if it helps. Rsync 2.6.9 runs the same backup without error. I compiled rsync under cygwin CVS so it may be an issue there as well. Server side did not crash. It did log an error, but I'm pretty sure it was due to the client-side crash. Rsync was running using an ssh port

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.

I'm using the source-filter option in this patch with the command rsync.exe -a -v -e ssh --source-filter="/cygdrive/c/openssl.exe enc -des3 -pass pass:whatever -a" /cygdrive/c/backup user@dir: to crypt files to be sent at source with openssl.

I'm programming an aplication to remote backup using rsync. The user has the option to crypt the files before sending them, but that options is causing us a lot of problems. We can?t crypt the original content, so we do a temporal copy. The problem is we just cant copy all files at the same time if they are big enough, so if a folder is bigger tan a size prefixed by the user, we copy file by

Hi everyone, I was just trying to catch some exceptions in my app, for "Record Not Found" I used this in my application.rb file rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, :with => :record_not_found rescue_from ActionController::NoMethodError, :with => :show_error private def record_not_found render :text => "404 Not Found", :status =>

Is it possible to have rsync do a transform on each file before sending it? This would be useful for things like individually compressed or encrypted backups, or in my case, syncing lossy copies of my FLAC music to an mp3 player or laptop. If not, is there demand for such a feature? It seems like it would be of use to many people, and in principle it shouldn't interfere with incremental file

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

Since rsync 3.0 i've detected a problem with rssh and -e option....rssh doesn't allow this option...but is essential to me (cyphered transmission with ssh). Surfing the net i've seen a guy that made a patch but I don't know how reliable is...and rssh former programer says he just left the project so it's no longer his problem. Is this stuff going to be updated in rsync or is

Is there a way to get a NTFS encrypted file using smbclient (even not decrypted) so It can be backed up using backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) ? I have exported the NTFS keys in a pfx file. could it help copy the file? the aim is that files must be crypted on laptops hard drive so if it is stolen then no data is compromised. Having the file not crypted on the backup server is not a

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

Hello, I searched the list and found some similar questions, but no answer, so... I would like to do an incremental backup using rsync where all the files at the destination end are compressed (bz2). I'm backing up to a usb flash drive and would like to fit as much as possible on it. I would also like to avoid rsync'ing to another directory on my hard drive, and then bzip'ing

Hi all, I am looking for to only sync directories and files structures only, without coping any data within files... Is there a switch/trick available for this in rsync? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Sincerely, Nick A Gordun mailto:dataplus@univ.kiev.ua

Can rsync support active mirroring? I've used robocopy in the past and it has a -mon switch that can copy ever x changes or every x minutes. I'm mostly interested in the x changes as the x minutes could easily be scheduled. Can rsync keep the data encrypted rather than unencrypting on the other end? Let me explain better. I want to rsync to a removable disk but I want the data to be
