"binary output" != encryption.

But yes, if you use the "encrypt wallet" feature, then the wallet(.dat)-file will be encryptet with the same passphrase :-)

I'm running bitcoin-qt 0.8. My wallet has a passphrase. If I create a backup from within the application, will the wallet.dat be encrypted with the same passphrase?

If I cat the wallet.dat I get binary output. I think that means it's encrypted.
