It seems like the guys at tarsnap have made their own application. The files are stored unencrypted, and it is the user's responsibility to encrypt them as the user sees fit, removing any limitation and not forcing the users to use only one protocol or application to store encrypted backups.

Using duplicity with a GPG key you can store your backups in an encrypted fashion.

+1 duplicity. It can backup to IMAP, meaning it can backup to gmail. Why pay $10+/mo to an online backup provider when Google provides 7GB of free storage (per captcha) inside some awesome tier1 datacenter?
