Are you sure that gpg overwrote the files? Piping into "tar cfzv" would write *to* the first file found due to the "f" option. Another thing is that you don't need find if you just want to put everything below a directory in a tar file. You could use: cd /mnt/raid/Dokumente/ tar --create . | gpg --symmetric --output $DESTINATION/1.tar.gpg But if you really want to exclude other filetypes, you better stick to find. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
