That's indeed the way to go except that I wouldn't trust PGP's authors to get their software right. Given how PGP-2.6 handled "filter mode" (aka `cat >/tmp/<tmpfile>; pgp /tmp/<tmpfile>; cat /tmp/<tmpfile>', no need to tell you how great it works for backing up 2GB with a 100MB /tmp partition, and this is ignoring the efficiency issue), I'd rather go for GPG or somesuch tool written by people who have at the very least a foggy idea of what "unix tool" means.
