A simple *sh script I wrote years ago that wraps up pre-defined paths, asks for a password, then spits out a compressed and encrypted tar-ball which is kept both locally and uploaded remotely to a separate location.
Much the same here, except that each path in the config can also specify LZMA compression levels. For example, documents and source code can be compressed greatly, but doing it for images and videos is mostly a waste of time.
