Currently BACKUP=YUM does not support BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_ENABLED
see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2371#issuecomment-614852816
that reads (excerpts):

... support for BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_ENABLED
(and its related config variables) is missing in
backup/YUM/default/500_make_backup.sh
while it seems to be there in
restore/YUM/default/410_restore_backup.sh
and in
restore/YUM/default/405_recreate_users_and_groups.sh

I don't see something about backup encryption in
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/doc/user-guide/14-ZYPPER-and-YUM.adoc

To avoid that users falsely use BACKUP=YUM
with BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_ENABLED set
which results an unencrypted backup but the user
may think his data is safely encrypted in his backup
ReaR now errors out in this case via
https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/0c4c49cbdfb58899390c82f5c6bd8a86790db411
