| Jan 28, 2016 at 18:12 | comment | added | user15392 | "mounted file system on a VPS" you're not planning on decrypting the fs remotely, are you? Because encryption only protects the data "at rest." Anyone working at the remote site could take a snapshot of the VPS while your drive is decrypted, for example. dm_crypt will only help if you're willing to copy the entire filesystem image locally, decrypt, add/update files, re-encrypt, and upload the image back to the provider. | |

| Nov 29, 2015 at 12:53 | comment | added | Sebi | @R15 Yes, that's true, I'm planning on using multiple providers just in case. | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 12:52 | comment | added | Sebi | @Neil Smithline any storage that is not located on a physical drive I'm able to access. It can be a mounted file system on a VPS, a dedicated backup service provider or a cloud provider. | |

| Nov 29, 2015 at 9:26 | comment | added | R15 | If the provider cannot be trusted don't forget to consider the risks applicable to loss of access (either as a result of accidental deletion/corruption or malicious encryption that prevents you accessing your data). | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 21:55 | comment | added | Neil Smithline | What kind of online storage are you talking about? | |
