Nah. The suggestions so far pretty much covered it. I was hoping for
something that would create a loop back image in the form of a file
that I could just mount and backup the files to , maintaining perms
and datetimes - then burn to a cd, which I could mount and then mount
the encrypted fs from.

I will settle for just taring and burning to a regular dvdr.

Thanks.
