"One of Duplicity's features is that can encrypt backups. In fact, that's the default. You'll need a Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) key to use encryption."

Personally, I use "grsync" (graphical frontend to rsync; for mp3s and photos) and "sbackup" (for all other files) to back up our computers onto an (encrypted) external drive.

I use duplicity. Makes me safe knowing my VPS provider cannot read my files. Make sure you have your GPG backed up as well, since if your PC gets stolen or HDD crashes, you'll need it to decrypt the files. -- simon
