First apologies for whatever mangling Outlook Web Access does to this email.

I tried the command line above on a smaller file (which has been encrypting and decrypting with no issues) and received the following error:

gpg: input line 1 too long or missing LF

Am I typing something wrong?  Here is what I typed:

gpg --encrypt-files -r "System Administrator" -z 0 < sql-db.bak > sql-db.gpg

The files I am trying to encrypt/decrypt are Microsoft SQL Backup flat files (DB dumps).

Thanks again!
Jeffrey
