I have only one node in my home lab. So far I have 15 x LXC and 2 x KVM. I make backups via the web interface using vzdump. I then copy the backups to a USB key.
I would like to store backups in some cloud (e.g. gdrive). I don't need synchronization, just simply create a backup and send it to gdrive.
I need backups on gdrive to be encrypted.
I really like rclone. Files can be encrypted before sending and decrypted after receiving. I want to ask if there is a script for this so that I don't have to create what is already created:

1. Create a backup
2. Encrypt and send to gdrive
 
PBS is THE way to backup everything related to PVE. If you can't or won't run a PBS in your home, you may try online PBS like from tuxis.nl (@tuxis), it works great and all the data can (and should) be encrypted on your PVE and backup will be written to their server.
