hi

let's say i fetch 10 files from a server with wget.

then i want to download any modifications to these files.

HOWEVER, if a new version of a file is downloaded, i want a backup of
the old file (eg. write to <filename>.bak, or possibly <filename>.001
and .002 to keep a record of all versions of a file.

can wget do this?

i tried to combine -N with -nc, which would seem logical (do timestamp
checking, and prevent overwriting), but wget protests that they are
mutually exclusive.

and if i use no options, then wget fetches a new file even though it's
not updated.

please help!
