I you go down this road, I would recommend rdiff-backup. It has all the |
| 9 |
advantages of rsync (it uses librsync) but adds much more. For example, it |
| 10 |
keeps diffs when files change, so when you realise you've messed up your |
| 11 |
Apache config, you can restore the file you were using x days ago. |
