Hello I'm looking to invest in some new hardware for backup. probably some =20 kind of NAS (a 4-disk 1U NAS or something in that size). The thing is =20= that I won't be the only one with access to this box, thus I would =20 like to secure my data. What I would like is encryption both for the transfer to the box, and =20= encrypted on disk. The data on disk should not be readable by anyone =20 but me (ie the other user(s) of the box should not be able to read =20 it, at least not without a big effort). So, I'm wondering what the best solution might be.. Tar'balling all =20 my stuff and encrypt it with GPG or something and just dump it there =20 with NFS would be the easiest solution, but maybe not the best. I've =20 been thinking about running a GELI image on my box, and store that on =20= the NAS over NFS.. would that be doable/secure/stable? Another idea would be to go with some regular 1U box running some =20 FBSD, doing scp to the box and geli local on the box but that would =20 require me to have the encryption keys on that box (which would be =20 shared so thus no good idea). Any other ideas? Being able to rsync to the backup storage instead of =20= just sending big encrypted tarballs would be very nice (and I guess =20 that would be possible with geli version) Maybe not the perfect list for this, but it is somewhat freebsd =20 specific and I'm sure some other ppl on the list have had simliar =20 situations :) -- Johan Str=F6m Stromnet johan@stromnet.se http://www.stromnet.se/
