On another node, why not allow downloading an encrypted archive, the server view
may be easier to search for a backup, as all is available there. Then we could
provide a client command (or separate tool) to decrypt that archive, wherever
the user downloaded it.
IMO, it does not make sense to limit the user artificially here, it just should be
made clear that the downloaded archive is/will be still encrypted, e.g., by adding
a ".encrypted" file ending, or some visual GUI hint.
