SecureArchive

Need to backup a tree of files but can't trust the storage?

This gem provides a gpg-archiver command that can be used to build and maintain an encrypted copy of a directory tree using GnuPG. The encrypted directory can be backed-up to untrusted storage using your regular backup solution.

If you plan to build an application embedding SecureArchive, add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'secure_archive'

And then execute:

$ bundle

If you plan to use the gpg-archiver utility, simply run:

$ gem install secure_archive

The gpg-archiver utility requires at least a GnuPG recipient (provided using the -r argument), followed by the source and target directories. If the source directory has a trailing /, the directory content (and not the directory itself) will be archived, so the following commands are equivalent:

gpg-archiver -r user@example.com /var/www/example.com/uploads  /var/backup/example.com
gpg-archiver -r user@example.com /var/www/example.com/uploads/ /var/backup/example.com/uploads
