I use a couple of external hard drives with whole-disk encryption, but
that's only for local backups. I keep meaning to look into whether I could
create a whole-disk-encrypted filesystem-in-a-file, which I could mount,
back up to, unmount, and then copy off-site. Simpler than encrypting and
decrypting individual files, harder to do incremental backups.

Anyone actually done this? It seems like it should be simple, I just
haven't (a) put the pieces together; (b) thought for more than about
thirty seconds about potential pitfalls.
