Re: [BackupPC-users] pre-backup encryption? user wants files to be inacc

This is a related question to my previous thread, although possibly slightly off-topic, so I apologize if I've offended anyone's email sensibilities.

Our conversation centered around the importance of being able to recover any given employee's files in the event of their death (which is why encrypting the files pre-backup in such a way that the IT Department could not read them was not acceptable). Well, what about me? I'm the only IT person on staff, and I'm the only one with numerous credentials (logins to numerous servers, etc) that the org would need in order to continue to function without me. Currently, I'm keeping a plain-text password file on an encrypted partition of my hard drive. No one else has access to these passwords because no one else needs them in the course of their day-to-day activities. If I get hit by a bus, they are going to be in a bit of trouble. What measures do y'all have in place to ensure your employer can continue on without you?

Ditto

I thought there was actually an option for rsynccrypto whereby rsync
would copy all the files from the normal location to a temp folder in an
encrypted format such that rsync will still be easily able to transfer
changed files.
