A collection of wisdom and best practices.  Use this after careful consideration!

* Don't backup your `gocryptfs.conf` file to public sources unless you have a strong password.

  See [Issue 50](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/50) for details.

* Do backup you `gocryptfs.diriv` along with all other encrypted files.

  This file isn't secret.  See [Issue #37](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/37) and [Issue #456](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/456).

* Use a strong passphrase/password!
