Robin,

Have you considered using an svn locally for versioning and then rsyncing that remoteley?

This way you could create a repository readable by both root and the "trusted" user. The trusted user could then rsync everything off to the remote server.

One issue that comes to my mind is, what will happen with permissions? I reckon the file permissions will stay the same, however the owner might change when restoring. (Or am i wrong?)

Robin,

I'm not saying your idea is bad, but I've always liked Jamie
Zawinski's idea of rsyncing to a locally attached external disk. One
for your nightly backups, and the other (stored remotely) for monthly
emergency recovery.
