Provide an option to encrypt the backup archive to
provide data security. The encryption should allow for
decryption at the command line.

    This change would impact several areas of the design:

    - User interface: Provide an option for encrypting the
    backup file and a field to collect the passphrase
    - Config file: Encryption option must be added to the
    configuration file, and possibly the name of a file
    containing the passphrase
    - Passphrase file: A new file with limited access (maybe
    600) containing the passphrase
    - Update to the bkup script to read and use the encryption
    option
