I haven't seen Dirvish use large temporary files during backup, if that's what you mean. And I haven't noticed problems with memory usage, though I'll admit I'm not 100% sure how to measure that. You mention encryption. That doesn't need to be built into the backup software. In the past I've used stunnel with dirvish, which worked ok. Now I'd probably use openvpn.

You mention encryption. That doesn't need to be built into the backup software.It does if there's a chance you and your buddy will cease to be such at some point in the future. Or let's make it even easier: do you trust everybody your buddy trusts in his/her house? No? OK, then.
