I'm trying to backup a directory (my Zotero data, in particular) whenever it changes (a la syncing with drop box); I would also like to keep a history of backups in case I delete something and want to restore it. lsyncd solves the first of these; rdiff-backup solves the second, but I can find no good way to combine these. The closest thing I can come up with is to run lsyncd locally and rdiff-backup remotely.

Any suggestions?

Have a look at Watchman. It's a tool created by Facebook for the purposes of watching file changes and triggering an action. Have it trigger a script which records what files changed before triggering an rsync.
