Can individual files and folders be decrypted?
I am testing BackupPC and when attempting to recover data, it is all encrypted:
/home
.ecryptfs
michael
.ecryptfs
.Private
ECRYPTFS_
ECRYPTFS_
ECRYPTFS_
ECRYPTFS_
Is it possible to recover the filenames and contents individually? All the recovery options I've found refer to mounting the whole home partition, not individual files. I've run the following:
$ sudo ecryptfs-
[sudo] password for michael:
Passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [key1] into the user session keyring
Inserted auth tok with sig [key2] into the user session keyring
$
But the next step is 'sudo mount -t ecryptfs ~/.Private ...' which seems to refer to the parent folder, not an individual file.
Second question:
What's the best-practice for backing up and recovering the encrypted home partition?
