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.

       -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 con-
	      verted 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.

       -V     Print rdup-tr's version.

       -h     A short help.

EXAMPLES

       The following is possible

	       rdup -Pgzip -Pmcrypt,-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 -Pgzip -Pmcrypt,-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 -Pgzip -Pmcrypt,-fKEY,-c /dev/null /home | rdup-tr -Otar | 
	       ssh user@remotehost tar xvCf /tmp -

       Or encryption with openssl

	      rdup -Popenssl,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 -Pgzip -Popenssl,enc,-e,-des-cbc,-k,secret /dev/null /home | 
	       gzip > my_compressed_encrypted_rdup_archive.gz

       Recreating the original rdup output, which can be fed to rdup-up.

	       gunzip -c my_compressed_encrypted_rdup_archive.gz |
	       rdup-tr -Popenssl,enc,-d,-des-cbc,-k,secret -Pgzip,-d >
	       my_rdup_archive

	       rdup-up < my_rdup_archive -t /tmp/restore

       Notice the reversal of the -P options.

EXIT CODE

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