I would like to give a tech who does backup access to backup some
files but keep them encrypted so the tech can't read the files. My
backup program can do its own encryption but that doesn't help. The
nightly backup fetches files from systems all over the building into a
big backup. We're not going to set up separate backups for every user
who has a couple of folders they want to keep private. If we encrypt
the entire backup the tech would need that password for anytime
someone says they need to restore a lost file.
I thought I could just encrypt a subfolder of mine but...
A: If I encrypt the folder and its contents then the backup says it
can't access the file.
B: If I just encrypt the folder then the backup pulls the file out of
the folder and puts it in the backup, where it is no longer encrypted.
Anyone who restores that file can read it.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Tom
