Dump db content to a encrypted data file

[mikilion]

Is it possible to encrypt data when writing the dump to the file?

Sure, but that would have to be handled by another stream. I can't personally recommend any specific approach, but I did find the following article interesting on the topic. https://medium.com/@brandonstilson/lets-encrypt-files-with-node-85037bea8c0e

I am not sure this is a right implementation but as a node implementation example u can you use this.

`
const initVect = crypto.randomBytes(16);

const backup = async () => {

const algorithm = 'aes256';
const password = 'd6F3Efeq';

// zip content
const zip = zlib.createGzip();
// encrypt content
const encrypt = crypto.createCipheriv(algorithm, password, initVect);
// write file
const w = fs.createWriteStream('backup.txt');
zip.pipe(encrypt).pipe(w);
await db.dump(zip, options);

};
`

`
const restore = async () => {

const algorithm = 'aes256;
const password = 'd6F3Efeq';

// zip content
const unzip = zlib.createGunzip();
// encrypt content
const decrypt = crypto.createDecipheriv(algorithm, password, initVect);
// write file
const r = fs.createReadStream('backup.txt');

r.pipe(decrypt).pipe(unzip);

await db.load(unzip);

};
