The Defuse PHP-encryption library is essential for encrypting the backup files. To install it via Composer, use the following command:

composer require defuse/php-encryption

To encrypt the backup files, follow these steps:

Navigate to the /admin/config/development/backup_migrate/advanced page.
Check the 'Encrypt File' option.
Optionally, set the encryption password. (Note: If you set a password for the encryption, remember it for decrypting the files later.)
