Hey guys, I'm new to FreeNAS and newer to some Linux stuff, but what we're wanting to do is backup some of our Windows servers via SSH/RSync?
What I'm most concerned about these days, like everyone else is Ransomware attacks. I'm super paranoid, so I was wondering this --
If we rsynced our servers over the Internet via SSH/Rsync and used the key exchange method, is the private key that would be on the Windows server visible to anyone who gained access to that server? Or is it also encrypted so they really couldn't do anything with it? Just wanted to make sure that the key would only be available to the Rsync application to sync the local data with the remote NAS?
Sorry if it's s dumb question but trying to be as safe as possible these days!!
Also, is that the quickest method of backing up over the Internet? Or firewall will only allow this one-to-one connection so it will block out any other outside connection attempts.
Thanks again!!
