Thanks for clarifying this. That must mean then: first encrypt, then compress?

  Compress than encrypt.

    And this has some pitfalls as well, ciphertext in general has about the same length as the plaintext, so compression rate can be used to infer some information about the plaintext. It's more of a problem with interactive protocols than with backups, but still worth keeping in mind.
