Well this is not really a great idea, do to the problems with PHP and big files and the way block encyptions work.

1. I "Could" code in shell support for using ZIP's encryption, tar/gz and I believe bz also do not support encryption.

2. Use MCRYPT to encrpyt a backup archive into a solid mass of encryption, then it would be up to you to Decrypt using another PHP script or I could create one.

3. BEST Option. Set your backup directory to something, below your public_html directory, that way it can not be accessed via url by traditional means.
