In this specific example, it is my understanding that if you do not
further distribute your filesystem, there is nothing that a _license_
can do to prevent you from including a GFDL'ed manual on a (private)
password protected backup. Maybe some gnus or gnats will get after you
and knock your hands, but they won't surely do it legally and backed up
by the license.
OTH, I do not really understand how would it be useful to distribute
such a think without the means to decrypt the manual.
