Hi, I’m running a ubuntu based backup server. And was wondering if there’s a simple way to encrypt my drives in case they get swiped or something by a break in. But also in a way that the computer can be restarted and decrypt the drive without me needing to stick a key in everytime. Any ideas? It seems basic but I’m not an expert on all these newfangled encryption terminology, so would like something idiot proof (by idiot proof, not idiot enough to lose/forget the decryption key)
If someone nicks it, can’t they just use boltcutters? Could hide the drive under the floorboards theoretically
If someone shows up with bolt cutters then you have other issues. They just as well could hold you at gun point
I mean the whole machine. Unless I cage it to the floor
