I use rdiff-backup to a local encfs directory. Then I do a rsync of the encrypted version of the encfs directory to a third party location. It is working fine so far. Admittedly my only restores from the remote site have been tests. ie. It is for disaster recovery purposes only. I use the local rdiff-backup copy for normal data recovery needs.
