Hi everyone!
I want to keep encrypted my documents on home's Note and I want them backup on regular basis (of cause all files suppose to be encrypt forms on backup).
How most convenient way to do this ?
Do I have to use different two application for this or there is a single application ?
I want free and stable open source software from legal repo. And for keeping backup I planning use SSD drive.
How you usually do it ?

encrypt and backup
Re: encrypt and backup
This solution is very simple and uses stable software from the standard repo:
Using eCryptfs to encrypt your home folders is no longer recommended, due to security issues.
- Format your internal drive with full disk encryption (LUKS)
- Format your SSD with LUKS
- Copy your files to your SSD using rsync
Code: Select all
rsync -av --delete /home/me/Documents /media/me/ExternalSSD
Re: encrypt and backup
My disk is split on 2 parts. One is with system and second for Home folder. I think to format LUKS only Home partition.
Is it secure to do in such way ?
Maybe I have to format system partition also ?
What if some meta information is saves in system partition like keys for encryption ?
What if I want just encrypt particular folder let say "documents" inside Home folder. Is it possible with LUKS ?
Thanks!
