How to encrypt the bup backup

This command uses GnuPG (gpg) to encrypt the BUP backup. The -c option is used to symmetrically encrypt the file, and -o specifies the output file name. encrypted_backup.tar.gz.gpg is the encrypted output file, and backup.tar.gz is the original backup file that needs to be encrypted.
