Or, you could use the "tar" method, but use a different program (script) which again will encrypt the file before adding it to the tar output. Just some thoughts. You probably need to define what type of encryption you want, before you can look at what solution might work. (also, who are you protecting the data from, the backuppc operator, or someone else?)
