cryptsync - rsync a folder to an encrypted disk image
#!/bin/bash
# cryptsync.sh - a simple script for keeping an encrypted backup of a folder
#
# Author: Rasmus Sten <cryptsync@dll.nu>
#
# For example, to make an encrypted backup of my ~/Documents folder to Dropbox:
#
# ./cryptsync.sh --init ~/Documents/ ~/Dropbox/
#
# Later, to update the backup, re-run th script without the --init option:
#
# ./cryptsync.sh ~/Documents/ ~/Dropbox/
#
# The target path can be any directory or mount point, e.g. a USB flash drive,
# an NFS share or web service such as iDisk or DropBox.
#
# To examine the contents of the disk image, you can use the --leave-mounted
# option to prevent the script from unmounting it after synchronization.
#
# On Linux, the script requires cryptsetup and sudo privilege is required to
# setup the loopback interfaces and mount the LUKS image.
# On Mac, it should work on a base Mac OS X system with standard user
# privileges.
#
# Run the script without any parameters for more usage information.
#
# The script works on Linux and Mac OS X, but the disk images created on Linux
# cannot be used in Mac OS X and vice versa. On Linux, an ext3-formatted LUKS
# image called "encrypted.luks" is created, while on Mac it is a sparse native
# HFS+ disk image called "encrypted.sparseimage". The default size is 1 GB.
