Ok. Now you're making fun. But to answer your questions, we don't rsync in
this environment, the way we should. The whole environment is entirely
under-scripted and we don't have the manpower to allow me to script it up
to par. Blah blah, excuse excuse. My day is go go from the time I get to
work to the time I leave, without much time to be creative where it could
benefit the dept.

But for backups I setup bacula to run over TLS. Works great! Next question?

what, you have an operator who hovers over the keyboard entering

passphrases ?


Yes. That would be me.
