As the actual invocation is a virsh command, I think this is more of a
libvirt question than a QEMU one.
I suspect that libvirt won't support this without -blockdev support
(which will enable blockdev-backup instead of drive-backup), but even
then libvirt might not even offer an API for an encrypted target. Not
sure, though, so CCing Peter.
