I use the attached script, named 'm0n0back' on my system, from cron each
hour to back up my config.xml into CVS.  My CVS repository is backed up
every 4 hours as part of my regular backups using rsnapshot
(http://www.rsnapshot.org/).  This gives me the ability to roll back
changes as needed to any point in the past.

hope this helps,
jim

PS, this should be in the archives from the first time I posted it.
