Re: [Dump-users] How do I protect against physical theft?

[MargoAndTodd <mar...@gm...>]

Hi All,

Just figured it out (and feel a bit stupid).

I have to do two dumps to backup up my system as
I have two partitions.  The "/" partition and the
"/export" partition.  All the users data -- the private
stuff -- is on the export partition.

So, partition my backup drive into two.  One in the clear
for the "/" partition and the other one as an encrypted
partition for "/export".

To restore, use the install disk in "rescue" mode and
restore the "/" partition.  At that point, boot normally
and restore the encrypted, now readable, "/export"
partition.

One of those "duh" moments.

Hope this rambling helps someone else,
