SVN Revision #400 or how to upload gpg-encrypted archives
April 22nd, 2006
Thanks to the nice work of Jan Metzger, backup-manager-upload can now encrypt your archives on-the-fly during SSH uploads. That’s done with a new upload method called “ssh-gpg”.
The design is simple and effective: you specify a GPG public key to use for encryption and choose that new upload method instead of the “scp” one. Then, your archives remain unencrypted locally but are encrypted with the public key on the remote hosts.
That’s a great new feature for those who want to upload their archive to an untrusted place.
Next step: implementing the new phase in the main backup-manager process: the global encryption phase, see bug #82 for details.
