I do not know how to do it using cvsup, but if you use a simple
cvs-repository, it will work fine if you do a "cvs up" on your backup
machine (regular check in preconditioned). But if you use cvs, it may
have much more sense to backup the entire repository, because you have
all made changes available after a restore.
