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.
