I was thinking that I could perhaps make daily incremental tarballs,
with a full backup once a month or something, as bandwidth is a bit
limited at the office site (though exactly how much I'm about to find

like suggestions as to the best schemes to use, etc.
Any advice appreciated.
If I understand your predicament correctly, rsync essentially does all
you need, but you don't trust the other admin to modify your local files.
If that is the case, fakeroot may be the solution for you. Run rsync
inside fakeroot (or fakeroot-ng :-) using persistent mode. In this mode,
repeat running of fakeroot will provide the same "cheats" on what the
actual file permission is.
If you then want to have a look at the filesystem, it's as simple as
running "fakeroot-ng /bin/sh".
