SYNOPSIS

gpgbackup [-h] [-c config file] command

COMMANDS

DESCRIPTION

Serverless backup system using GnuPG for encrypting data to a (potentially) insecure media or network location. Data is encrypted using a PGP Public Key (or multiple, if you want multiple people to be able to restore your data), so recovery is only possible with the corresponding private key, which can be stored in a safe place.

OPTIONS

-c configuration file

Use the specified configuration file (default: ~/.gpgbackup/gpgbackuprc)

-h

Shows a short usage reference and version number.

--version=version

Specify version number to act on. It can be any version number given by history command or one of the following: LATEST as an alias for the latest known version of the file, or ANY for matching any known version of the file.

FILES

# comment lines may be included, starting them with "#" sign
