Yes, this would work with tar, too. However, date-based incremental backups don't work well * for large files with small changes * when you can't trust the time stamp (what happens when files or directories are moved? file hierachies untarred?) Some sort of "rsync/unison into an encrypted tar archive" would be nice. Any ideas how to achieve this in userland? -Hein -- http://hein.roehrig.name - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
