       xbcrypt - Percona xbcrypt Documentation

       To  support  encryption  and  decryption  of  the  backups,  a new tool xbcrypt was introduced to Percona
       XtraBackup.

       Percona XtraBackup 8.0.28-20 implements the XBCRYPT_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable. The variable  is
       only used in place of the --encrypt_key=name option. You can use the environment variable or command line
       option.  If  you  use  both,  the  command  line  option takes precedence over the value specified in the
       environment variable.

       This utility has been modeled after xbstream_binary to  perform  encryption  and  decryption  outside  of
       Percona XtraBackup. xbcrypt has following command line options:

       -d, --decrypt
              Decrypt data input to output.

       -i, --input=name
              Optional input file. If not specified, input will be read from standard input.

       -o, --output=name
              Optional output file. If not specified, output will be written to standard output.

       -a, --encrypt-algo=name
              Encryption algorithm.

       -k, --encrypt-key=name
              Encryption key.

       -f, --encrypt-key-file=name
              File which contains encryption key.

       -s, --encrypt-chunk-size=#
              Size of working buffer for encryption in bytes. The default value is 64K.

       --encrypt-threads=#
              This   option   specifies   the   number  of  worker  threads  that  will  be  used  for  parallel
              encryption/decryption.

       -v, --verbose
              Display verbose status output.
