After installing Mackup, the Mac backup tool mentioned in this guide, I noticed that it backed up my entire ~/.ssh directory to Dropbox. This included my id_rsa private key, which I would prefer not to have on Dropbox, even with a key passphrase.
- matthewmueller 12y agoYep, it's meant for backup and restoring. I'm hoping that in future builds of Mackup you will be able to configure what you backup.
- ccbean 12y agoRight, or even if Mackup could add a Y/n confirmation prompt before copying that private key file over to Dropbox.
- oalders 12y agoI don't like that it does this out of the box, but you can add something like the following to ~/.mackup.cfg [applications_to_ignore] ack bash git screen ssh tmux vim
- psophis 12y agoI would like if it defaulted to nothing. With options to add all, all but ignored, or specified applications.
- Artemis2 12y agoGenerate a new key now and consider the old one as compromised.
