Personally I split everything into equally sized tar.gz files, encrypt everything with gpg and upload it using rclone. It should be easily doable and scriptable in any Unix-like machine. It's not the fastest way of doing this, and very inconvenient if you need to access the data often. I only use this for off-site archiving that I will never use unless something catastrophic happens.
- danuker 5y ago> I will never use unless something catastrophic happens Have you ever tried to restore from one such archive?
- eric__cartman 5y agoYes, it's quite easy. Once all the gpg files are decrypted, the tar archives can be uncompressed with any piece of software that supports tar archives.
- spinax 5y agoYou've basically just described duplicity with rclone as the backend (their term). I personally add duply in front for usability (it handles your includes, excludes, "profile", etc.). Restoring is easy with these 3 working in tandem, and you can manually extract the data as needed for SHTF - just gpg encrypted tarballs. duply runs duplicity who runs rclone in a soundbite.
- aborsy 5y agoI am curious, why don’t you use rclone crypt? (And as someone said, duplicity).
- 1630269196 5y agoI used to do something similar, but these days I either just use rclone's crypt backend (folder hierarchy is kept intact, files encrypted and filenames obfuscated), or a Restic repository hosted on an rclone backend.
