You could use that to encrypt an archive copy of a host, but it
wouldn't work for encrypting the whole backup directory, which is
what I believe he is looking for.

We use it at work to encrypt the stream to LTO tapes. That
said, I don't know if it will work with backuppc....and if you
trust sourceforge...

Encryption of the underlying filesystem on the remote end
would not do the
job because data are readily accessible as long as the
filesystem is mounted.
I would like encryption on the local end with a key that is
kept local and
a salt, e.g. the md5 checksum of the file. This ensures
encryption already
when file is in transit. For my setup, this would require
getting in
between reading the local file and transferring the then
encrypted file via
rsync (similar principle for restoring file).
