Looking for a reliable, truly encrypted backup workflow for steno notes and sync audio that won’t compromise confidentiality; I’m on a Luminex II with Case CATalyst and currently double-save to two USB drives after the 9:00 a.m. criminal docket. My shorthand is efficient enough that realtime isn’t the issue — what are you using to automate secure off‑site backup without exposing client data?
I use Arq Backup on my CAT machine to encrypt the Case CATalyst USER folder and sync audio to Backblaze B2 with my own passphrase; it runs every 5 minutes, so I’ve got a belt‑and‑suspenders off‑site without the USB shuffle. If you want simpler, Tresorit is true E2E but pricier; Arq link: https://www.arqbackup.com.
I use restic to encrypt and back up my Case CATalyst USER folder plus sync audio to Backblaze B2, kicked off by a Windows Task Scheduler job that runs 10 minutes after the “9:00 a.m. criminal docket” so it’s off‑site without me thinking about it. First run is slow and you need to stash the repo key somewhere safe, but after that dedupe makes each pass fast and keeps filenames encrypted; docs: https://restic.net.
I’ve been using Duplicati to automatically back up my files and it offers strong encryption options… It can be set up to run right after your dockets, so you don’t have to think about it. Just remember, you’ll want to keep your recovery key somewhere safe — good point, @andrews92.
