I just stumbled across rclone. A tool for syncing files to cloud storage. Which can also encrypt and decrypt the data. So... something for a encrypted remote backup. Not only it works with SSH/SFTP, but also with a lot of other service like S3, Google Cloud Storage, HiDrive, Hetzner Cloud Storage and so on (see https://rclone.org/docs/).
Maybe I will create an blog post about rclone in the near future, because the docs weren't that straightforward (at least for me).
But in short (even when the examples sates otherwise), you need to add two hosts: one for sftp/ssh/rsync (or any other services) and one for "crypt". Then it will be encrypted on the sending computer.
Nice... I am positively surprised.
