whitenack Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Skip down to the bottom if you don't want this background information... What I am wanting to do is use resilio to act as my offsite backup storage. I have people who will store my backups on their machines, and I will store their backups on my machine. I have used Crashplan for years, which has this feature, but Crashplan is shutting down. Since my data will be on someone else's machine, I need to use the encrypted folder option. And, since I don't want my friends/family to accidentally delete the backup file and therefore delete all the files at the next sync, I need to give everyone a Read Only key. However, since we are talking about lots of data on the initial sync, I am wanting to seed the backup first. Is it possible to pre-seed the data on an offsite encrypted read only folder? If I just take the data to the remote machine and transfer it manually, it won't have gone through the encryption process, so I'm worried this won't be possible.

Helen Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 You're right. Pre-seeding encrypted folder does not make sense, remote 'encrypted' peer will just ignore pre-seeded files in folder and the data will still be synced and go through encryption.
