I would like to be able to make modifications to server config files

server using rdiff-backup. I only want to copy over a few files
explicitly, for example when I create a new init script, I would add
it to my list of "includes".
The trouble I am having is in trying to figure out how to initialize
this setup. It seems that if I use '--force' for the initial
rdiff-backup, that it clobbers all the files on the production server.
I hope it's clear what I'm trying to do, and thanks for any clues.
That sounds like a job for rsync, not rdiff-backup.

I wanted to use rdiff-backup so that I could easily roll back changes
on the production server if the modifications weren't working
correctly. But now that I think about it, I can see how if the
production server is the "backup" copy with the incremental snapshots,
that won't allow me to do that anyway.
Any other ideas on a system that will allow me to roll back changes?
p.s. sorry about the double-post
