Thanks for the suggestions, I thought about just finding the large
files, inspecting and removing but I'm afraid sup's will panic. But I
think I saw some way to sync it again to a changed source, so maybe
there's that. 

Re incremental backup - that's something I'll have to do, true, but
since I want it to be encrypted on the backup server (with no other
users or root getting a peek:) I settled on just bzipping, encrypting
and uploading one huge file. Even when there are small changes, when
it's one file and it's encrypted, it changes the whole file. 

I could think about getting some loopfile and cryptsetup a LUKS on it on
the server, or maybe encfs (I'm not sure they have encfs the server
though...).

Thanks again!
