Introduction¶
RCB (Rsync-Crypto-Backup) is a set of scripts in Bash that:
- Create local backup with rsnapshot
- Encrypt local backup with rsyncrypto
- Sync encrypted backup to the remote server with rsync
- Restore the backup and
- Compare the restored data with the origin
Rsyncrypto ensures that doing rsync to synchronize the encrypted files to another machine will have only a small impact on rsync’s efficiency. Whole RCB project is approximately 500 lines long.
Installation and configuration was tested with Ansible role https://galaxy.ansible.com/vbotka/rcb/ with FreeBSD and Ubuntu.
