I personally use dar and gpg. Dar can be used to make incremental |
| 14 |
backups which should partly solve your speed problem. Alternatively you |
| 15 |
could use tar and gpg or cpio or whatever floats your boat. |

The alternative would be an encrypted filesystem and rdiff-backup or |
| 18 |
rsync. Optionally you could safe the key to the filesystem on your home |
| 19 |
partition or, if it doesn't need to be automated, in a gpg-encrypted |
| 20 |
file. |

Let me know if you are interested in any of these options so I can |
| 23 |
explain the details further (if you need support with that, that is). |
