One thing to consider is using ecryptfs as I do for my data at rest. It's mounted as a (mostly) regular filesystem at ~/Private (or similar) and the encrypted files that serve as the backend (~/.private) are then uploaded to the cloud service of my choice. Currently using crashplan, but B2 would be nice to create archives/snapshots of my data instead of just syncing it as most consumer backup solutions do.

This is a very low friction way to have accessible data and have it encrypted by a fairly popular mechanism.
