Encrypted backups/snapshots RN102
Hi, I'm looking for a NAS to store my backups on but I really want encryption and I want to make use of snapshots or an incremental backup so I can just clone files from my windows PC then let the NAS...
I discovered the readynas virtualbox image and have been playing with it:
Snapshots work on encrypted volumes. You can't encrypted USB drives and the ecryptFS kernel module is missing so you can't use that manually yourself. I guess I could encrypt a USB drive using cryptsetup but that would require decrypt->encrypt when copying files to USB.
It uses cryptsetup/LUKS for volume encryption so fairly standard.
I like how this is debian based, so no messing around with ipkg/optware. I assume most packages that work on x86 also work on arm with apt-get?
I wanted to try and keep the encryption on the NAS but it seems the ARM based ones will all be a little on the slow side so I'll look into true image.
