Q: My backups are encrypted. How can I access them in an emergency without the script?
A: BmuS uses gocryptfs for encryption. In an emergency, you can install gocryptfs on any Linux machine and mount your encrypted backup folder manually using your password file: gocryptfs -passfile /path/to/password_file /mnt/nas/encrypted_backup /mnt/restore_point This will make your files visible in plain text in the restore point directory.
