[Linux-disciples] scp/rsync question

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

rdiff-backup could be used to upload files to the webserver. It would
preserve historical versions of every file that was modified. You would
need to make sure to delete older versions periodically to not use too
much space (using rdiff-backup --remove-older-than). But maybe the rsync
-b option meets your needs more simply.
