Okay, that's a little progress in the investigation.

"<defunct>" means that the process has exited, but the return code from
the process has not been read by the parent process yet.  So in this
case, whatever process spawned the tar and gzip subprocesses is not
"noticing" when the subprocesses finish... the question is why (and what
is it stuck doing instead of cleaning up)?

Are the "openssl enc" and/or encription-wrapper-script processes still
out there at this time (and what state are they in)?

You should be able to use pstree or "ps -ef" to determine which process
is the parent (PPID column) of the defunct subprocesses.

Yes, that parent process was still visible.

I will retry that later, currently I am updating stuff on that server etc

The parent is the amrecover process:
