I wouldn't use blockchain.info in the first place if safety is your concern.
Anyways, you could always export the unencrypted private key and then encrypt it yourself with whatever you want.

Just writing some code
Say i have blockchain.info wallet X and i only have one address in it.Now i took a backup of this wallet.Now how can i transfer this wallet(address+private keys) to other wallet(say any wallet like electrum,multibit,mycellium)
I know i can always send the bitcoins to the address created by other wallets but in case blockchain.info goes down or shuts down or whatever happens and in that case i need to access my bitcoins then how can i do so?
Do blockchain.info backups (AES Encypted) can only be recovered at blockchain.info?
I know i can export the private key of address in blockchain.info wallet but it's not safe.I want the encypted backup that i take to be restored at other clients in case of emergencies.Is that possible?
You would need to decrypt the keys. The encrypted keys can probably only be decrypted at blockchain.info but, because their software is open source, it should be fairly trivial for someone to modify the code to decrypt your private keys.
