Everyone, thank you so much for your helpful comments… ❤️ I have learned a lot these two days.
I looked at rsync and borg, and I have ended up using Pika as a GUI for Borg. I am now backing up my data with Pika to two external hard disks over SSH. Both of these external hard disks are encrypted with Pika/Borg. What a wonderful tool!
Wow, I just used this tutorial. rsync is amazing, and this actually makes everything so much easier. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
The only reason is that I am a noob 😄 Thanks, I will take at look at this!
keep the key safe
This might be a dumb question, but can I assume the keys are safe in the standard .ssh directory on Linux? Is there anything I should explicitly do to secure the private key?
Thank you. For now, I won’t try to connect to the server from the internet. I want to learn more about VPNs before I try anything like this. I am very paranoid when it comes to security, so I don’t want to risk anything… 😄
Not all of us. Just a few actually. But not playing fair will always give them an advantage.
