That isn't really feasible.No, encfs is a layer and stores each encrypted file and filename as normal, they are just encrypted. So when you mount the encrypted data to a mount point, it's available unencrypted. When you look at the encrypted directory tree, the file names and contents are scrambled. So to back it up, you back up the encrypted subtree directly. No need for intermediate steps.And how good is this encryption? AES What if I forget the passphrase or whatever it uses? Same thing that happens if you lose your GPG passphrase - you lose whatever was encrypted with it. To back it up, I'd still have to make an archive which I can upload. Depends on how the backup service works. Many have a deamon that monitors directories you specify and uploads changes.
