I am considering learning subversion as a possible solution to guard against accidental edits and deletes. Or am I on the wrong track there?
rdiff-backup is an interesting tool for backups. Like the rsync solution, it makes the destination a copy of the src... but it also keeps a series of reverse diffs so that you can move backwards in time to recover the state as it existed in earlier snapshots. You periodically run it with the --delete-older-than option to prune away old diffs (backups).
