I have done the following: + +1. copied my ssh public key to a remote server +1. created a directory and started git annex assistant + mkdir ~/test_annex + cd ~/test_annex + git annex webapp +1. clicked Repository->Add another local repository +1. Assistant: Where do you want to put this new repository? Me: ~/test_annex "Make Repository" +1. Assistant "Combine repositories?" Me: "Keep repositories separate" +1. clicked "Add another repository" clicked "remote server" +1. filled out "Adding a remote server using ssh" form and clicked "Check this server" +1. choose "Use an encrypted rsync repository on the server" +1. Assistant "Repository created" I select "Full backup" as repository group. + +So far so good. If I now add a file on my local machine into ~/test_annex something not human readable is created on the remote machine. + +What I do not understand is how I use this backup later. I am expecting something along the "hybrid encryption keys" scheme +explained in this wiki. However I was not able to determine which of my gpg keys was used or how the data was encrypted. + +So my question is: "How do I use the encrypted backup remote on a second machine?" + + + + + +
