It runs over SSH, so yes.

What about on the server side? For the storage.

If you want server-side encryption, then Tarsnap is probably better for you.

Yes I use Tarsnap but an encrypted backup using file system snapshots would be the best thing ever.

One way that you can do this is just to zfs replicate a volume to another system that has an encrypted zfs mount. Probably not what you are looking for, but voila - end to end snapshotted encryption - except it's not a "backup", more like a hot failover volume.

So just take a ZFS snapshot and give Tarsnap the snapshot to back it up?
