No. Backup volumes are _not_ a real backup. They are snapshots of the rw
volumes which can be used to take a backup from without fear that the data
changes in between. Being a snapshot, they usually stay where their rw volume
is. So what you really want is not encrypted volumes, but an encrypted backup.
That's a totally different thing.
