I saw this on the other list today and became intrigued. How does this transfer and encryption work?

If you also setup rsync behind an ssl proxy, the secret to mount the encrypted filesystem during the backup copy should be pretty safe. However, you do have a potential window of exposure during the time that the encrypted filesystem is mounted, so rsyncrypto is the safer way to go. Beyond that, I don't think that I want rsync to actually do the encrypting of the files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
