[Bacula-devel] Bacula Encryption questions

[Vladimir D. <vd...@gi...>]

I have some questions regarding the latest 1.39 and future 1.40
So far how does encryption influences the backup speed?
How about the encryption and compression? Is it a lot slower then
compression alone?
Which encryption algorithm is used for encryption? (I assume everything
that OpenSSL supports - AES, 3DES...)
Do I have to install OpenSSL on the client side or 1.39 uses Win32
crypto library?

I am really waiting for the native encryption support, I am using
scripts to encrypt the volume via GnuPG and then write it to the tape.
Hope to streamline and simplify the process without loosing too much speed.

Thanks!
