![]() Yea, python is not the fastest language around even if you use pypy (which however definitely makes most software that crunches some data quite a bit faster over standard python). I haven't tried it but theoretically you could even mount a cloud provider as a virtual drive and store your entire database that way, probably stupid but I might try it for fun.īorgbackup is your ticket to make it simple.Īctually this one is a fine CLI tool too, but unlike borg it's not considered stable by the developers, and you likely do want some borg features like the ability to prune older database backups and staggered retention for the other files. It should find your database and start like normal, with any new files being encrypted as their own files that can be synced individually. ![]() >create a shortcut to your client.exe adding -d="path to db folder on virtual drive" (e.g "C:\Hydrus Network\client.exe" -d="Z:\db") ![]() >Move your Hydrus db folder to that mounted drive (or you can make a new one by ignoring this step) >mount it as a Drive letter (you will need to use the same Drive letter each time) >create a new encrypted folder on any drive >install an encryption program (I used cppcryptfs but there are a bunch for various platforms) The problem is that Hydrus doesn't want to run at all within these encrypted directories, but luckily we can have our installed client separate to the db folder. The filenames and contents are unreadable, but they are still their own files so syncing and backup programs know exactly what to copy and what is the same. ![]() Well I've been experimenting with different crypto programs that feature encrypting directories while keeping files separate. Another problem with Truecrypt/Veracrypt volumes is you have to set the container size at the time of making it, leaving it too big or too small all too easily. We are all aware that Hydrus runs fine inside a Truecrypt container, but having one huge file can be a problem.įor instance if you backup your 500GB database inside a truecrypt container and then download even just 1 image you basically need to backup the whole 500GB all over again if you run an automated backup to an external HDD or a NAS. I haven't seen this discussed so I thought I'd make a thread on it. ![]()
