I have two questions:

   * I suppose that means you create the LUKS drive on, e.g., /dev/sdc rather 
than, for example, /dev/sdc<n>?  (I suppose that should be easy to do.)

   * But, I'm wondering, how much bit rot would it take to make the entire 
backup unusable, and what kind of precautions do you take (or could be taken) 
to avoid that?
