I use rsync at work to back up stuff like the shared drive and it
works great.  Fast too.  Thousands of files.  Some encrypted but most
aren't.

If you put everything into a directory, tarred and then say gpg
--symmetric, and then rsync'ed that would be a mistake I think because
it would have to copy the whole huge file.

Thanks,
