Commands / kosa8 snapshot export

kosa8 snapshot export

Write a snapshot to an encrypted bundle for removable media or one-way transfer

Usage

kosa8 export SNAPSHOT -o FILE

Writes the snapshot as a single tar bundle whose every part is encrypted with AES-256-GCM: memory state, disks and manifest. A snapshot that is not encrypted at rest is encrypted on the way out; the local copy is left as it is.

The bundle carries its data key wrapped under this machine's KEK, so it opens only where that KEK has been imported (kosa8 key export / kosa8 key import). -o - writes to stdout, for a transfer tool that reads a stream.
