What about mounting an encrypted filesystem in a file via loopback device? Once configured, it can easily be mounted like mount ~/Nothinginhere Passphrase: For backup issues you can simply copy the file somewhere. Disadvantage: If one bit flips in the file accidentally, your data is lost, but if so, simply restore an earlier backup file, copy the contents to the hard drive and create a new crypto file. There are easy to follow tutorials out there for sure. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
