According to:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/backup-restore/
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/backup$20encryption|sort:relevance/qubes-users/sS4A3vJdCQ8/w9-jIj5VW9oJ

Qubes backup system has a "weak key derivation scheme".

Is a reasonable workaround to just put the backups (with or without Qubes 
encryption) on a LUKS device?

And a general cryptsetup question: Is there any security benefit to encrypting 
an entire drive versus encrypting individual partitions (ie /dev/sda vs 
/dev/sda1)?

Thanks!
