secs-man: A Tool-Independent CLI for Secure Secret Backup and Restoration Using Age Encryption
secs-man (secrets-manager-rs) is a command-line tool for securely backing up, restoring, and verifying secrets using interoperable standards like age encryption and coreutils. The tool is designed with a philosophy of tool-independence: users should be able to decrypt and restore their secrets without needing the original software, ensuring long-term accessibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. It can manage secrets for both local and remote machines and is ideal for creating local-only backups of highly sensitive data that shouldn't be stored in the cloud.
Key quotes
if you encrypt your secrets with this software, you should be able to decrypt and restore them without this software.
Even if secs-man disappears from the face of the Earth, your data is still accessible.
You should not depend on any specific software for backing-up your extremely important data.
