| This script also requires the encfs password GPG encrypted and stored as ''$target-encfs-password.gpg''. Also, the reverse encfs mount point must be configured before running the script for the first time. To do this, run ''ENCFS6_CONFIG="/.encfs6.xml" sudo -E encfs --reverse "source-directory" "temporary-mount-point"'' and setting up the encryption as desired. When that's done, unmount and run the backup script. | This script also requires the encfs password GPG encrypted and stored as ''$target-encfs-password.gpg''.
