First steps with Veracrypt post

Why Vercrypt?

It's :

Download

Create a container based on keyfile authentication

In this example, my container is called animals and has been created from Veracrypt GUI. This container has no password, it based on key system. The key has been generated from Veracrypt GUI.

  • The container is called animals
  • The key is called animals-key

Add files to container

    cd veracrypt
    veracrypt animals --keyfiles=animals-key --password=''
    tar -cvzf animals.tgz /home/ben/Images/animals-wallpapers
    cp animals.tgz /media/veracrypt1/
    veracrypt -d

Let's backup it on a friend RPI!

    rsync -avzh ben@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/home/ben/veracrypt /home/ben/veracrypt
