Hi Josh,

As I mentioned in my first post, I am aware of the differences between 
communication and data encryption.

I have setup communication encryption and it's working fine but I still 
have a need for a feature that would allow me to use SD to SD to copy
with data encryption which would result in storing only encrypted data
on the remote storage location which doesn't have the same level of
trust as the local storage location.

Ultimately I would probably want to use a combination of features
such as:
- SD to SD copy
- virtual backup (a.k.a. consolidated backup)
- communication encryption
- data encryption

All four features listed above cannot work together, for example:
- Data encryption cannot be used when copying a job (unless the
  data encryption is configured on the client).
- SD to SD feature cannot be used with virtual backup but only
  with Copy and Migrate jobs...

Considering my needs and the limitations I have listed above the
best solution for my requirements seems to be some kind of encrypted
network block device presented through an encrypted tunnel.
