I really like this idea.  Use rsnapshot to manage all of the files, 
expiration, etc and then use rsync to copy changes to remote sites. 
That way local backups are available for easy recovery and if disaster 
should occur, I can get the remote backup, decrypt, and restore.

I like this, I really like this.  I'll publish a how-to on the wiki when 
I get it working.
