Hello, I'm using Dar 2.5.17. I'm using the -K option to encrypt a full backup. I then tried to create a separate catalog for each file. I'm invoking dar like this, but with a config file (DCF): dar -C backup-cat -A backup -K algorithm:password -3 sha512 Now my intention is to have both the backup and backup-cat file encrypted. I think dar is doing this, but it asks for a password to decrypt the backup archive so that it can isolate the catalog. I thought that the -J option was to be used with the -A option so that you could give dar the password without having to retype it a million times, but the man page specifies that the -J option is not needed anymore. However, even with -J, I'm still getting prompted for a password to open the backup archive. How do I give dar the password to use for both the backup archive and the catalog extract? Thanks, David |
