 The fingerprint is optional, if the certificate of the Proxmox Backup Server
 remote is signed by a CA trusted by {pmg}.
 
+You can also encrypt backups, by autogenerating or providing an encryption key
+for a Proxmox Backup Server remote.
+
+NOTE: Keep a copy of the symmetric encryption key in a secure place, or print
+it out. Without the encryption key will not be able to restore an encrypted
+backup. Alternatively you can add a master public key to a remote config, and
+have the symmetric encryption key, encrypted by the master key and added to
+each backup.
+
+.Example addition of a Proxmox Backup Server remote with autogenerated encryption key.
+----
+# pmgbackup proxmox-backup remote add shared-pbs --datastore public --server backup.cloud-provider.example --user 'pmgbackup@pbs!token' --password --encryption-key autogen
+Enter new password: ******
+Retype new password: ******

 Additionally, you can configure `prune-settings` for each remote, giving you
 flexible control over how many backups should be stored on the Proxmox Backup
 Server over a specific period of time.
