❓ #encryption question:

I don't really understand what "reverse mode" means on a file level encryption system. We can read on #Arch wiki:

"The reverse mode of gocryptfs is particularly USEFUL for creating encrypted backups, since it requires virtually no extra storage capacity on the machine to back up. "

HOW "no extra storage"?
:blobcatpeek: I guess it's mounting that crypted file system on a remote storage via ssh/ftp/davs/usb/whatever
