Duplicity archives files into tar files before encrypting them, by
default these tar files are ~25MB/per, you can however change this. I'm
not sure the exact command, but, I think it might be --max_blocksize
(Note:- never tried it myself, see manpage for more info).
Duplicity also uploads manafest and signature files (Rdiff) which are
relatively small most of the time, I'm not sure how it deals with those
as I've never used the S3 backend.
