In a nutshell, the tarbackup service is more or less a free private SFTP server for people to put their encrypted backups on. If you have a crash or fire, you can download your backup, decrypt it, and restore it.
\n
\nGo to http:\/\/tarbackup.com <\/a>and create an account for free.<\/p>\n

Backup your system<\/h3>\n


\nmkdir \/backups
\ntar -cvpzf \/backups\/fullbackup.tar.gz --directory=\/ --exclude=proc --exclude=sys --exclude=dev\/pts --exclude=backups .

\n  
\nEncrypt the tar file<\/strong>
\nTo encrypt your backup, you need a secret key. You need to keep this key safe on a usb drive or in your email. You can’t restore your files without the key!
\n 
\n 
\nCreate your secret encryption key
\necho mysupersecretkey > \/backups\/key<\/code>
\n 
\n 
\nEncrypt your backup with openssl
\nopenssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in fullbackup.tar.gz -out fullbackup.tar.gz.enc -pass file:\/backups\/key<\/code>
\n 
\n 
\nUpload your backup to tarbackup.com
\n
\ncd \/backups
\nsftp USER@tarbackup.com:\/storage\/
\nput fullbackup.tar.gz.enc
\nquit
