What is needed to see a ssl ftp connection in the backup module (out of the box)? Another feature I would like to see is an encrypting of the archives.
Is there no customer demand or is the implementation that problematic? Addon for additional bucks?
Cpanel made big progress in many areas. Backup seems to be lacking, which might be our fault as customers. To sell a solid out of the box routine is not as sexy as having RoundCube etc. on board out of the box.

I like this idea 
It's will be a good feature to put a password on the backup. For example with Amazon S3 (external system) without 2 step authentication ... We need this ASAP ! ;-)

Six years have passed and the backups are still done uncrypted. Seems to be no real issue for most users here. Is everybody using a addon software for backup or why is the activity in that area so low (FTP/SSL as backup destination is missing too for years).

I wish I knew. At tyhis moment I am pulling my hair trying to come up wit ha good way to produce automated backups either to encrypted files on the webspace, or putting them on another machine via sftp securely (no password auth pl0x, and no shell access).
But I have to conclude that the best way probably is some commercial backup service integrated with cpanel :(

Hey everyone! @BobHoliday has started a conversation over on the forums about how best to go about uploading encrypted backups to his Amazon S3 server, and I thought the folks here might be able to provide some insight.

It is possible to develop this functionality yourself. If you know how to whip up a bash script, here is the recipe:

I registered on the site just to vote for this suggestion. After two years can we please get another update? I'm extremely surprised this isn't included yet. Anyone who cares about user privacy should be using encrypted backups and cPanel is in a position to best help those of us who care about user privacy, and want to use an automated system for it, but don't have the technical ability to create something like this on our own.

I think encrypted data may discourage hackers as that will be one more hurdle for them to cross. Especially when various methods are used further complicating, delaying and perhaps preventing threat actor from accessing data stolen.
