Support for encryption of dar archives

[mbrandis]

Hi!

Could you please add the encryption of dar archives with public keys? This would be a really helpful feature for the future!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Mark

I write my gpg files to a subfolder (called gpg) with the following script (automated in BM_POST_BACKUP_COMMAND):

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -e /etc/backup-manager.conf ]; then
echo "ERROR: Backup Manager is not present on your system."
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -e /etc/backup-manager/gpg-copy.conf ]; then
echo "ERROR: unable to find gpg-copy.conf configuration file in /etc/backup-manager/."
exit 1
fi

source /etc/backup-manager.conf
source /etc/backup-manager/gpg-copy.conf

for DATEI in $(find ${BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT}/ -newer ${BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT}/gpgtransfer.ref -type f | tac); do
/usr/bin/gpg -o ${DATEI}.gpg -r ${BM_ENCRYPTION_RECIPIENT} -e ${DATEI};
mv ${DATEI}.gpg ${GPG_COPY_FOLDERS}
/bin/chmod 0666 ${GPG_COPY_FOLDERS}/$(/usr/bin/basename ${DATEI}.gpg)
done

touch ${BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT}/gpgtransfer.ref

exit 0

the file gpgtransfer.ref is just empty, only there for the last edit time, the file gpg-copy.conf looks like:
export GPG_COPY_FOLDERS="whateverFolderYouLike"

This script will however never delete anything nor integrate with other features of backup-manager (ftp, scp etc.). Use at your own risk.

Good Bye
