   I like to carry a backup with me when I leave the house for more than a few   
   days, just in case of fire or earthquakes.  Being a bit paranoid I'm not   
   thrilled with wandering around carrying an unencrypted backup of all my   
   personal   
   information.  This is the process I've worked out and I'd like some opinions on   
   what I could do to improve it.   
      
   Create the backup:   
   tar -czf - adirectory | openssl enc -e -aes256 -out /aplacetoput   
   t/secured.tar.gz   
      
   Give it a password, twice.   
      
   If I need the backup for some reason:   
      
   openssl aes256 -d in secured.tar.gz -out afilename.tar   
      
   Give it the password.  It gets ugly and says:   
   *** WARNING : deprecated key derivation used.   
   Using -iter or -pbkdf2 would be better.   
      
   But it works anyhow, and at this point I have the afilename.tar file with the   
   adirectory in it.   
      
   I'm not sure what to do about the warning.
