### BACKUP CONFIGURATION ###

## GENERATING PRIVATE AND PUBLIC KEYS ##

# To generate the private key:
# 'openssl genrsa -out [nameofkey].key -aes256 4096'
#
# To generate the X509 certificate:
# 'openssl req -out [nameofkey].crt -new -key [nameofkey].key -x509'
#
# To decrypt backups:
# 'openssl smime -decrypt -in [nameofbackup].tgz.enc -inform DER -inkey [nameofkey].key -out [nameofbackup].tgz'
#
# KEEP THE PRIVATE KEY SAFE. It does not need to be kept on the server. If you lose it, you will NOT be able to unencrypt backups
# ALSO, make sure you keep the passphrase for the private key safe, if you forget the password, the backups can not be decrypted
