NAME

       rdup-tr - transform rdup output

SYNOPSIS

       rdup-tr [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Transform  rdup  output  into something else. Where something else can be a tar, cpio, pax
       archive or another rdup stream.

       The rdup archive must be given on rdup-tr's standard input.

       You can select multiple types of output (-O flag), but you must  be  aware  that  you  may
       loose some information in formats other than rdup's own, see the table below.

       You  may  also supply rdup-tr with only a list of pathnames, this can be selected with the
       -L flag.

       The following table shows what happens with the output depending on the input.

       0      OK

       D      delete information is lost

       H      hardlink information is lost

                            │               │

OPTIONS

       -L     Select list input format. Normally rdup-tr accepts rdup output,  with  this  option
              you  can give it a list of path names.  Note: with list input rdup-tr will `stat()`
              each file, so this can not be used in remote back ups.

       -O     Output format. This can be 'tar', 'cpio', 'pax' or 'rdup'. It defaults to 'rdup'.

       -X key Read the encryption key from the file key and encrypt all paths with  Blowfish  and
              this key and iv. After the encryption the binary data is converted into ASCII using
              an URL safe (Section 4 of RFC 3548) version of base64 encode.

              The encryption key must be on the first line and the key size  must  be  16  and  8
              bytes for the iv, so 24 in total.

       -Y key Read  the  decryption key from the file key and decrypt all paths with Blowfish and
              this key. Before the encryption the paths are converted to binary by using  an  URL
              safe version of base64 decode.

       -c     Force output to the tty. Normally rdup-tr wants to see it's output redirected.

       -v     Be more verbose. Print the processed file names to standard error.

       -V     Print rdup-tr's version.

       -h     A short help.

EXAMPLES

       The following is possible

               rdup -P gzip -P "mcrypt -f KEY -c" /dev/null /home | \
               rdup-tr -O tar -X<(echo secret) | gzip > \
               my-home-zipped-crypted-pathcrypted-tar.gz

       That is: all files under /home are gzipped and encrypted on a per file basis (first line).
       Further more, all pathnames are Blowfish encrypted (second line) with  the  key  'secret'.
       This  is put in a tar file, which is then compressed, resulting in the final output (final
       line).

       Creating a compressed and encrypted tar archive out of a full rdup dump might be  done  as
       follows

               rdup -P gzip -P "mcrypt -f KEY -c" /dev/null /home | \
               rdup-tr -O tar > my-home-zipped-and-crypted.tar

       Or even pack and unpack it on the fly

               rdup -P gzip -P "mcrypt -fKEY -c" /dev/null /home | rdup-tr -Otar | \
               ssh user@remotehost tar xvCf /tmp -

       Or encryption with openssl

              rdup -P "openssl enc -e -des-cbc -k secret" /dev/null /home

       Or, compressing with gzip, encrypting with openssl and then compressing the entire archive
       yet again

               rdup -P gzip -P "openssl enc -e -des-cbc -k secret" /dev/null /home | \
               gzip > my_compressed_encrypted_rdup_archive.gz

EXIT CODE

       rdup-tr return a zero exit code on success, otherwise 1 is returned.
