Yep, we're cheap.  There is no way I can get the budget for the Ingrian.
The gnuPG solution is what I'm looking for, however I was hoping for a
way to do the encryption on the fly otherwise I'll need twice the
storage on the clients.  Also it would be hard to do incremental backups
with your solution I guess.
