perhaps the current "backup" system (that runs nightly out of the
daily job (?! cf: uptime and update, orthogonal programs to be sure))
could be "hacked" to keep, instead of just "current" and "last", all
the files in RCS?  no...you wouldn't have a log of who did what, nor
when (approximately), nor why, but you would have daily changes back
to the "beginning of time" saved for you...
