Backup with Date and Time

[danielibarnes]

Are you now able to decrypt it using the command line?

Yes. I tested it before posting. I created an encrypted backup and then decrypted it using that command.

I have just updated this again, so if the "mydata=another-name" bootcode is used, it will still work.

yeah it works.

i read a little bit in the manuals about sed, so i begin to understand...
so the sed command changes the ^ to " and $ to "...
that means the password in /etc/sysconfig/bfe is in the format ^password$ and for bcrypt it's needed in the format "password"!?
and afterwards sed prints the password two times to stdout !?

for this command line i need the password in a text-file.
i tried different ways like
echo "password" | bcrypt mydata.tgz.bfe
and didn't succeed...

do you see there a further approach that uses the password on the command line without the password-file?

[Guy]

If you used the password

12345678

to encrypt it (encrypted backup).

Use

"12345678"

to decrypt it (command line).

that means the password in /etc/sysconfig/bfe is in the format ^password$

No, ^ matches the beginning of the line and $ matches the end of the line. My command just adds double quotes around the password before passing it to bcrypt.

echo \"password\"|sed p|bcrypt mydata.tgz.bfe

will also work, but if your password is in a variable, you need to use:

echo \""$pw"\"|sed p|bcrypt mydata.tgz.bfe

now i understand:
tc@box:~$ bcrypt mydata.tgz.bfe
Encryption key:
now i have to give my password in the format "password" and it encrypts fine.

thats what i was looking for, thank you friends.

hi danielibarnes,
i understand that sed is a very strong tool, that's worth to learn...
