I've been using a program called rdiff-backup ( http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ ), based on librsync. This package creates a mirror of your server (or any portion thereof) on a remote server, and keeps track of changes. It only sends changes (ie diff) across the wire, including binaries, so after the initial copy it's pretty bandwidth efficient. It's not in ports ( or wasn't recently ) and takes a little extra work to build it, but IMHO it's well worth the effort. Alvin Gunkel
