On my machine at least man openssl
shows that -k
is for specifying the password you want to derive the key from, so in that case I think you are literally using the string /etc/ssl/private/etcBackup.key
as the password. I think the flag you want is -kfile
.
You can verify this by running the command in strace
and seeing that there is no openat
call for the file passed to -k
.

Best I can do is
