I am not trying to back up my whole system just a single folder. I am using Fedora 11

This command creates a compressed backup file of a folder's contents:
$ tar -cjf backup.tar.bz2 /folder/path
This command encrypts an existing file:
$ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -in /file/to/encrypt -out /file/to/save
I will leave to you the task of combining these into a useful script.
