Description-en: back up eCryptfs Encrypted Home or Encrypted Private Configuration
zescrow-client provides the zescrow (formerly ecryptfs-escrow-private) utility,
which can be used to upload a backup of an eCryptfs
Encrypted Home or eCryptfs Encrypted Private configuration
to a zEscrow compatible server.
.
zEscrow.gazzang.com is one such compatible server, an implementation
of the AGPL free software available at https://launchpad.net/zEscrow.
.
zEscrow will:
- prompt for your chosen zEscrow server
- retrieve the public GPG key of that zEscrow server
- prompt for your login passphrase
- use your login passphrase to decrypt your mount passphrase
- create a tar archive of your ~/.ecryptfs directory and decrypted
mount passphrase
- gpg encrypt that archive the your zEscrow server's public key
- upload your encrypted archive to your zEscrow server
- display a URL and offer to launch a browser, where you must go
to associate a Google account and email address with your backup
