as it is mainly an archive you have there, old folders will not be changed but 
only read, i wonder why you don't simply use an archive format rar, 7z .. 
something with a secure encryption possibility, create archive folderwise and 
simply load these to the unsecure remote storage of you choice.

i feel duplicity is a little bit over the top for your use case.
