I'm scared to back up the bulk of my data because I don't want to put it on dropbox or s3 because they could get hacked or otherwise divulge to law enforcement.

I'm scared to back up the bulk of my data because I don't want to put it on dropbox or s3 because they could get hacked or otherwise divulge to law enforcement. And encrypting it all first is a pain.
- auxym 11y agoSimilar here, don't really want to do a full backup of all my personal files and such to dropbox. Right now I only do a local backup to a usb HD. However, I'm considering getting an amazon EBS volume and setting up a Ruby script or something to put up a micro server, compress and encrypt my files and sent them out the the aws volume. Backblaze/crashplan is cheaper, but they use a server side key, which is pretty pointless. Glacier would be cheaper but seems more complicated to set up.
- charsplat 11y agoFYI. Crashplan is pretty cheap and purports to have client-side encryption. They are closed source but they are setup to have you provide a key in the backup client.
- AndrewAtCode42 11y agoWe do have client side encryption. You can check out our document outlining the features here: https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Latest/Configuring/Archive_Encryption_Key_Security https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Latest/Configuring/Arch...
