At the file level of the archive or at the file level of the files  
*inside* the archive? The first case is easy I guess: you could use an  
encryption tool like GnuPG [0] to encrypt the archive created by  
BackupPC. If the files inside the created archive need to be encrypted  
then you'll have to hack your way into BackupPC I'm afraid...

GPG is cross-platform.
