    warning

    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

    warning

    A symmetric AES encryption key (specific to this host) has just been generated. Root manifests (which include file names, content hashes, and other metadata) uploaded from this host to the cloud will be encrypted using this key.

    THIS ENCRYPTION KEY IS NOT STORED IN THE CLOUD!

    This means that neither operators of our cloud nor anyone who somehow obtains unauthorized access to encrypted data stored therein will be able to decrypt it (as all copies of the encryption key shall remain in your possession).

    IF THE ENCRYPTION KEY IS LOST WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU RECOVER IT!

    MAINTAINING ANY BACKUP COPIES OF THE ENCRYPTION KEY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

    The encryption key is stored locally in /etc/disktape/host_config, along with other host configuration settings. You can display it by running:

    dtrm status --show-aes-key
