What is a dataset in this setting?
- mioelnir 10y agoThink flexible-sized partitions. Then forget it again because it is too wrong. The one really nice scenario this opens up that is discussed in the pull request linked in another comment: 1. Server A has an encrypted dataset in pool foo, currently not decrypted 2. A can send full or incremental streams from that dataset to server B without decrypting 3. B can receive those streams and import them as encrypted datasets into the pool without decrypting or really ever having even seen the keys 4. Server A can restore from B as required 5. The owner of the key material can log into B and unlock the dataset as if it were on A This is a really nice, accessible way for encrypted remote backups.
- black_knight 10y agoCool. As I mentioned in some other comment, I would really have to look into the details before I could use and trust such an encrypted system, to understand the guarantees provided.
