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