Re: [BackupPC-users] encrypted pc and pool directory

Short answer: no.
Speculative answers:
1. The web interface and dump/link commands could be re-written to support
ecryptfs or a similar file-based method.
2. You could use loop-AES to decrypt the partition/logical volume only when
you need it, including when accessing the web page, running backups or
restores, or running BackupPCNightly.
Snarky conclusions: if you don't trust your backup server itself, you are
doing something wrong. Loop-AES at boot to ensure the machine cannot be
carried off, plus decent host security, should be sufficient.
