Google for Unison file synchronizer, it will even work across different
OSes.  The only tricky part is you need the times = true control
statement to make diffs work correctly.  An example control file for
making a backup of a wiki follows.  You probably do not want the force
statement and may want to point to the wiki/data directory and
eliminate some of the ignore statements.

root = C:\home\web\Moin\drawiki\
root = ssh://unison@javalina//home/web/Moin/drawiki/
force = ssh://unison@javalina//home/web/Moin/drawiki/
ignore = Name .cvsignore
ignore = Name *.py
ignore = Name *.pyc
ignore = Name *.cgi
ignore = Name dict.*
ignore = Name dicts.*
ignore = Name WS_FTP.LOG
ignore = Path CVS
ignore = Path data/cache
ignore = Path data/plugin
ignore = Path underlay
ignore = Path htdocs
times = true
