There's no way to back up locked encrypted files. You have to unlock them first.

So if my understanding is correct, this means that I would first

  • have to create a new fscrypt on the destination with fscrypt setup /path/to/dest, and create new protectors
  • unlock both source and destination
  • and only then run rsync
  • lock everything again

Yes, that would work. (Except the command to encrypt a directory is fscrypt encrypt, not fscrypt setup.)
