My "knowledge" is probably out-of-date, but last time I thought I knew 
something, incremental backup of encrypted files / directories seemed to be a 
hard problem because changing, for example, one bit in a file could change 
much or even all of the file after encryption.

Is there something that has been done to deal with that problem?

(OTOH, I may be mis-remembering something.)
