This sounds similar to Iomega Automatic Backup which I have used for several
years:

  http://www.iomega.com/software/autobackuppc.html

I have a two-tiered backup approach.  When a file on my ham PC changes, the
software writes the changed file over the network to a hard drive on my office
PC.  When that file on the office PC changes, the software running on that PC
writes the changed file to a USB "jump" drive.

Iomega Automatic Backup can be configured to save up to the last 5 versions of
any changed file.  So you can have plenty of old backups in case you make a lot
of mistakes.
