I am sorry for not pointing out that any machine except that one where the 
files are stored can be frequently offline and must therefore keep the 
files for offline use.
The machines are my different computers and I store the stuff I need to 
have with me on all machines. When I stop working, I encrypt and upload my 
data. On whichever computer I use next the first thing is to download 
and decrypt before starting to work. Since changes are few and files are 
many I was looking for a way do the same with incremental backup. 
Duplicity works "upwards" but "downwards" I cannot avoid the complete 
restore.
