I don't think we will need 2).
Yes, we need to provide access to the server, likely
through an ssh key. Data encryption is on the burder
of the user, not the server space provider.
I don't care what you back-up on my system if its encrypted.
I can't see how I'm liable for information backed
up on my system, when I have NO WAY knowing what it is.
If rsync (or something similar) is smart enough to
just update changed BLOCKS of files, one could just
run a local rsync to an encrypted FS-on-a-file, then
back-up that file.
I have my GPG keys on cd-rom, flash-drive, and paper
hex-dumps in firesafe and safe-deposit box.
They should survive anything short of a nuke in ABQ.
