In addition to other suggestions, for various remote servers I like using rsnapshot (google for its homepage, it's also in the ports collection). It works as rsync over ssh, and it keeps a configurable amount of previous snapshots. e.g. a common configurations is 6 per day at 4-hourly intervals, 7 per week at daily intervals, and 4 per month at weeks intervals, so that you can always go back to see what your files were like up to a month ago. Since your HTML files are probably comparatively small, you may find this method quite convenient. Even for large sets of files the hardlinking of unchanged files means that surprisingly little overhead of disk space is used. --=20 http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B --yVhtmJPUSI46BTXb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAx+P7IJm2TL8VSQsRAg/4AJ4zcZm1eKv29IdFSW1RkN1Np09ibgCgj9Yj ZY7zaFVQOccabJgZk0d6Qzw= =iB0h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yVhtmJPUSI46BTXb--
