In practice I address a similar problem to yours by running duplicity to 
a local folder (/external HDD etc) and then rsyncing the archive files 
to various places. That way you can verify every day/week and know that 
you have a working backup chain, but you only have to send the deltas to 
the remote location. Clearly this does not protect you if one of your 
archive files is corrupted etc on the remote server, unless this is 
picked up in the next rsync.

Kind regards,

Aaron
