I'm in need of a backup tool and an advice would be helpful because I need some special functionality.

I want to make backups from my laptop to a cardreader (pcmcia), making daily full and hourly incremental backups *if the card is plugged in* (which might not be the case for as long as two days).

Additionally I need some kind of encryption.

Hello Florian,

I do not have any suggestions (yet) but as of today, I've been thinking
about writing an application to process financial data, using some type
of robust encryption, where the (encrypted) data files are stored
onto a usb stick. The only time the app can run is when it detected the
encrypted usbstick is ready.... I do not want to even store the data on the
computer's HD.


Not exactly the same thing, but similar.  I'll be curious to see
what ideas or existing solutions get posted to your question....

Sounds like a job for good old GPG/PGP. You could encrypt and sign the data. Then no one can fake the data files and they are encrypted.
