My cursory audit of encfs (not written up) revealed that, if you use it in the natural way for backup (reverse mount an unencrypted directory, and rsync the virtual, encrypted file system that exposes), then it does not use per-file salt, so each file with the same contents is encrypted to the same ciphertext.

This was years ago. It might be fixed.
