Description

Any particular reason not to use tar+gpg for backups? LUKS seems error-prone compared to a single command of encrypting a folder.

Thank you for the guide, by the way.

Research direction
Investigate the pros and cons of using tar+gpg versus LUKS for backing up GPG keys and other cryptographic materials. Review existing documentation in the repository (e.g., README or backup section) and analyze the discussion in issue #446 to determine if a change is warranted. The maintainer may need to provide feedback on acceptance criteria and whether a formal doc update is desired.
