This would not be so simple for encrypting with our current code because the encryption keys are kept by the File deamons (note plural). > > Another feature that I'd like to see in bacula would be data encryption > by the storage demon, so that the encryption keys on a multi > computer-system need only be stored on the machine with the storage > demon on it. If you would like this, please submit a Feature Request. See www.bacula.org -> Feature Request for the details. With a feature like this, it would be much more practical (easier) to encrypt unencrypted tapes. Given a SD encryption feature, encryption of non-encrypted volumes could be done by running a Volume Migration Job. ==== Now is the best time for Bacula users to submit Feature Requests since we are at the end of a development cycle. Those that are accepted (95% of all requests) will be added to the "projects" file for voting which will occur probably in late March or April.
