unison or rsync maybe what you are looking at.
I looked into debian-user archive etc and I found few tools:
8.4 Differential backup and data synchronization
Differential backup and data synchronization can be implemented with
several methods:
* rcs: backup and history, text-only
* rdiff-backup: backup and history. symlink OK.
* pdumpfs: backup and history within a filesystem. symlink OK
* rsync: 1-way synchronization
* unison: 2-way synchronization
* cvs: multi-way synchronization with server backup and history,
text-only, mature. See Concurrent Versions System (CVS), Section
12.1.
* arch: multi-way synchronization with server backup and history, no
such thing as a "working directory".
I only used CVS extensively.
More on these by installing debian-reference-en from testing/unstable.
