You may want to check out borgbackup: 
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Borg backups can be encrypted, and each backup archive is a full backup 
of the input files.  But Borg uses rsync-like chunking and deduplication 
to store only new chunks as you add archives, so you get full backup 
archives for the space cost of an incremental.  See the borg docs for 
more detail.

Unlike Duplicity, borg needs smarts on the backend (for the 
deduplication), so has a much smaller set of supported backends.  
However, you mentioned that you use rsync.net, which is one of the 
providers that supports borg: http://rsync.net/products/attic.html

I don't have any experience with using borg with rsync.net, but I do use 
borg and am happy with it.  Please email me directly or contact borg 
support channels if you have questions, to avoid further off-topic 
conversation on this mailing list.
