How about that:
tar czv /etc | aespipe -p3 -eAES256 -C128 3< /etc/aespipe.pwd > etc.tgz
this way you can put some chars from /dev/random into the
password-file to make the backup have a very good passphrase.
Or without password-file maybe like that:
tar czv /etc/ | aespipe -p3 -eAES256 -C128 3<<EOP > etc.tgz
