Using openssl on Windows Vista 64-bit. Would create a tar backup of data, and then use openssl to encrypt:
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -pass file:backup_key < JMBkFile.tar > JMBkFile.ssl This has worked well on a RHEL 5 box, with a 1.2GB tar file. I have been able to encrypt and decrypt successfully. The windows backup file is 8.3GB. The password file has a single line containing just the password, no CR or LF, no additional lines. I have tried to decrypt specifying the file on the command line, specifying the actual password on the command line, but I continue to receive the Bad Decrypt message. All of the posts I can find that seem to apply to my situation suggest a bad password or specifying the wrong encryption algorithm, but I know they are correct because I have a command file that creates it, so I know the parameters being used. Is it the size of the file? What other possibilities should I look at?
