You might look at Les Mikesell's ASPI tar program.  I've been thinking
of hacking it to do encrypted backups but had planned to put the
encryption inside the tar application.  Putting it at the ASPI level
is an interesting alternative I hadn't thought of.

I think the best encryption method to use for this purpose is Blowfish
in CBC mode.  This should give a good combination of security and speed.
