Re: rsyncrypto with --backup-dir like in rsync

[Zurd <zu...@gm...>]

Hi, thanks for the information, I understand now that rsyncrypto is a
preparation step. Only problem is that if you want to make a backup of 800
GB, you'll need to copy that 800 GB and encrypt it (with rsyncrypto), then
rsync that. Can work fine for small backups, just not for large backups.
