Duplicity also does incremental backups, but it's still slow. Using
dar, would I have to "manually" (or per script) use gpg to encrypt the archives?

An encryted filesystem and rdiff-backup or similar was another option
I though of. The problem is restoration: Would I easily be able to
restore the backups from a freshly installed system?
