Hi,
this is rather a SSL question but it came up when configuring
boxbackup. I may ask here.
The config script says:
1) Make a backup of /etc/box/bbackupd/51-FileEncKeys.raw
This should be a secure offsite backup.
Without it, you cannot restore backups. Everything else can
be replaced. But this cannot.
As far as I understand I can rebuild the SSL private and
public keys using the raw random data in "N-FileEncKeys.raw".
In case even this is wrong, please tell me how to start to
"replace everything else".
In case it applies please show me how I can reconstruct the
*.pem files.
A short hint to a manpage or an online document will suffice.
Thanks in advance,
Bertram
