the good news is that you don't even need to encrypt your data, if they are random to start with.

  That might be tricky. An encrypted file may have some properties a random file does not have in general.

    No, unless the algorithm is broken. Ciphertext indistiguishability[1] is a basic requirement for any encryption scheme. All modern ciphers are designed to make that hard. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguishing_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguishing_attack

      Yes, but you remove that attack vector simply by encrypting a random file instead.
