Encrypting backups on a external USB drive
I use front view for occasional backups onto USB drives for offsite storage. I also happen to use snapshot for rotating backups daily to another USB drive that is always plugged in. For my offsite...
I would like to bump this as well. I have offsite 2TB backup drives that I take with me everywhere in muy backpack. However, if my backpack were to get stolen, I would have all my NAS data unencrypted and available to whoever wants to read it. Financial Data, Private Pictures, Copies of Essential Documents.
There ust be a way to be able to run a backup from the readynas to an encrypted drive or to encrypt the drive while backing up.
Maybe take front view out of the equation and implement a rsync + ??? option that could be scripted or aliased to keep it simple to use.
Thanks
