I'm thinking of backing up some folders of my QNAP File Station to Dropbox with "HBS Backup & Sync".
I want to do this with encryption, so the files on my NAS are not encrypted, but the backups on Dropbox are, so no regular files are ever sent to Dropbox's servers.
In this case I wonder:
1. Where is the private key stored?
2. Do the HBS developers have access to this private key?
3. If my NAS gets destroyed in a fire, and I buy a new NAS, will I be able to un-encrypt my backup after retrieving it from Dropbox? (I'm sure I'd need to have a copy of the private key in this case)
Any advice much appreciated!
