-ENCRYPTION AND THE SWAP FILE *:recover-crypt*
-
-When the text file is encrypted the swap file is encrypted as well. This
-makes recovery a bit more complicated. When recovering from a swap file and
-encryption has been used, you will be asked to enter one or two crypt keys.
-
-If the text file does not exist you will only be asked to enter the crypt key
-for the swap file.
-
-If the text file does exist, it may be encrypted in a different way than the
-swap file. You will be asked for the crypt key twice:
-
- Need encryption key for "/tmp/tt" ~
- Enter encryption key: ****** ~
- "/tmp/tt" [crypted] 23200L, 522129C ~
- Using swap file "/tmp/.tt.swp" ~
- Original file "/tmp/tt" ~
- Swap file is encrypted: "/tmp/.tt.swp" ~
- If you entered a new crypt key but did not write the text file, ~
- enter the new crypt key. ~
- If you wrote the text file after changing the crypt key press enter ~
- to use the same key for text file and swap file ~
- Enter encryption key: ~
-
-You can be in one of these two situations:
-
-1. The encryption key was not changed, or after changing the key the text file
- was written. You will be prompted for the crypt key twice. The second
- time you can simply press Enter. That means the same key is used for the
- text file and the swap file.
-2. You entered a new encryption key, but did not save the text file. Vim will
- then use the new key for the swap file, and the text file will still be
- encrypted with the old key. At the second prompt enter the new key.
-
-Note that after recovery the key of the swap file will be used for the text
-file. Thus if you write the text file, you need to use that new key.
