tar does not do encryption. Anything out there that compresses and encrypts in a standard format and is free?
zip might be what you want. However, note that zip is not particularly strong in this regard, so you might want to use gpg and the archiving utility of your choice instead.
Is there a free windows utillity that will decrypt gpg?
I have a Mysql/PHP database running on Centos. Its mostly accessed by Windows based PC's. I want to add an option to backup, compress, encrypt then post for download the database. Likely downloaded to a Windows PC.
