Doing it locally doesn't really help. The RIP bill can force you to disclose your own encryption keys to the UK government, and if you "forgot them" you can be put in jail as if you were convicted of whatever they're accusing you of.
That's why cloud backup was useful.
[edit: actually I mis-remembered this, it's "only" 2 years (or 5 if it's national-security-related) that they'll jail you for. "Only" carrying a lot of water there...]
For this you can use truecrypt nested containers, so it will reveal data depending on your given password and there is no way to prove there is something else in the container.
To be fair this should be standard.
