# rdup-gpg(1)

encrypt files with gpg received from rdup -c

## NAME

rdup-gpg - encrypt files with gpg received from **rdup -c**

## SYNOPSIS

**rdup-gpg** \[ *OPTION* \] \[ *RECIPIENT* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**rdup-gpg**, by default,  encrypts the data it receives from **rdup** with the default public key in your key ring. When *RECIPIENT* is empty, the default recipient (you) is used, otherwise it is used in the **--default-recipient** option of \`gpg'.

For example,

        rdup -c list ~/Documents \| rdup-gpg \| rdup-snap -c -b /tmp/storage

Note the *-c* option for **rdup-snap**.

## OPTIONS

- **-c**

  This option is ignored, **rdup-gpg** always works on the files' content. This "feature" was added because all rdup-util scripts have such an option.

- **-d**

  Decrypt the files. You need \`gpg-agent' running for this to work ok,  otherwise you need to type your passphrase for *every* file that is decrypted.

- **-a**

  Use \`gpg-agent\`, useful when decrypting a backup.

- **-h**

  Show a short help message.

- **-V**

  Show the version.
