What exactly is contained in the metadata backup file /var/backups/_prov_.eli ? Obviously, since I keep /var inside of the encrypted provider, the default location is a bad place for a backup. Where would a good location be to save this metadata using the -B switch for geli init other than the default? I have /home /root /tmp /usr and /var inside the encrypted provider. Everything else is unencrypted.
