Encryption
^^^^^^^^^^
Proxmox backup support client side encryption using AES-256 in GCM_
mode. You first need to create an encryption key in order to use that:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client key create my-backup.key
Encryption Key Password: **************
The key is password protected by default. If you do not need this
extra protection, you can also create it without a password:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client key create /path/to/my-backup.key --kdf none
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client backup etc.pxar:/etc --keyfile /path/to/my-backup.key
Password: *********
Encryption Key Password: **************
...
You can avoid having to enter the passwords by setting the environment
variables ``PBS_PASSWORD`` and ``PBS_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD``.
