I mean from the GUI.
The file you download is a backup, meant to be stored on a device that you trust ^^
( as any backup ...)

You have a point.
"We all know" what ABC is, where it's stored, and under what conditions you can retrieve it.
ABC uses a server @Netgate where our copies are saved. They are encrypted, and can only be read back if you have kept that key (and ID etc) on a safe (local !) place.
ABC was, in the past, on option that was not free. It was a package that you had to add, and set up.
The doc doesn't really state clearly that is actually a 'cloud' thing.
That it isn't a perfect solution.
That it needs a working connection to the Internet.
That you should backup the access credentials.
Etc etc.

I've opted to go the scp route, using the cron package (to set a cron job from the web interface).
If you created a small shell script, you could add your own encryption.
Take a copy of the config file, encrypt it before sending it away to some local device.
