Hi, thanks – I managed to set it up.
However, I don't quite understand why Bareos requires both the private and 
public key, especially when I only want to perform backups. And when it 
comes to restoring data, I would manually provide the key on the machine. My 
main goal is to avoid having the private key on the Director, File Daemon, 
or Storage Daemon during regular backup time. Is that setup possible? 
Thanks.


Ľubomír.
