I find rdiff-backup to be a nice tool for the job. It doesn't do the
whole hot-copy thing, so if you want to be on the safe side do that
first and perform the rdiff-backup on the copy. Rdiff-backup works with
an incremental scheme so I have only "one" backup of my trac
installation but I can restore it as it was as of any point in the past.
