Don't consider please. :-)
Original question was what are proper tools to encrypt
files before remote backup over low bandwith connection.
I suggested a good one a few days ago. No one disclaimed yet.

Of course I also could mention dozens of less perfect solutions.
E.g. "Copy all files to /dev/null that can be well compressed
before transmission" :-)
