new backup method tweaks
* use the AES256 cipher, be explicit that only the first line of secret_key.txt is used, and sanity check that the passphrase is long enough * change overship of the encrypted files to the user-data user * simplify variable names in management/backup.py * although I appreciate long comments I am trimming the commentary about the backup migration * revise the control panel template to not refer to the old unencrypted files * add CHANGELOG entry

CHANGELOG
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
* Backups now use duplicity's built-in gpg symmetric AES256 encryption rather than my home-brewed encryption. Old backups will be incorporated inside the first backup after this update but then deleted from disk (i.e. your backups from the previous few days will be backed up).

# 1. It preserves the pre-transition unencrypted backup files

# within the encrypted backups we will immediately create, so

# At no point in the transition will we use more disk space than

# encrypted duplicates we decrease by more* than half the disk

# the total size on disk i.e. it will not consider the unencrypted
