This sounds like a problem for 'tarsnap'. It's from the same author as portsnap. http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2006-09-13-encrypted-backup.html http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-08-29-tarsnap-update.html http://www.tarsnap.com/ I never used it so I don't know more about it than you can find in these url's.
