I was sent over here by the super user guys, because my question is better suited here.
I have that policy that I leave no data unencrypted, so I am looking for a program or suite of scripts that lets me backup directly into an encrypted container. To be useful it should do the following:
- Automated backup to a local or/and remote encrypted target storage
- Incremental backup
- Automated mounting/unmounting of said storage or provide hooks to insert instructions to do so
- Automatic rotation, so I can store monthly backups of site
- Run on linux and has to be maintained
- Prompt the user to attach the storage device if it is missing
- Must not dependent on a service provider
Bonus points if:
- it has a GUI for status information and simple operation like postpone/pause
- it integrates with PAM/keyrings so the user does not need to provide the password every time the backup starts
- it is open source or open source friendly
I started to hack something together myself but then this feeling crept up on me that I am reinventing the wheel and I am just too stupid to find the proper solution. Does anyone have a recommendation?
What I already looked at:
- fwbackup -> no encryption
- simple backup solution -> no encryption
- bacula -> has encryption but way too complicated for only 5 machines
Thank you for all the tips
