Do encrypted backups with Borgbackup or similar. That means the server never sees the plaintext or the decryption keys. The encryption happens on the client. Since it's public-key encryption (separate keys for encryption and decryption), the client doesn't need the decryption key either, except when restoring. So your backup can be automated without secret keys.
Only useful if the backup machine isn't also used as a hot spare.
