Of course there exist plenty of possibilities, but most of them either encrypt a container or complete partition or seemed to be complicated to setup. I did not want container or partition encryption as I fear if the media is corrupted or something goes wrong during network transfer perhaps all my data would be unaccessable for me. With file-based encryption I have almost the same risk as without encryption. Even if I loose some files to corruption I can still decipher the rest of the data.</p>https://iniy.org/2009/12/backup2l-driver-for-encrypted-backups-with-mcrypt/Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:18:57 +0000https://iniy.org/2009/12/backup2l-driver-for-encrypted-backups-with-mcrypt/<p>This backup2l driver encrypts and decrypts backups on the fly with a single password-key found in the file /backup_key/backup_key.txt. Of course you should save the file in some other space or rembember it, because if your harddisk fails and you don&rsquo;t have the key you can&rsquo;t restore your backups. Beware: the filelists are not encrypted.</p>
