The etckeeper package is very useful to keep the changes to config files
in a git repo, which can be pushed up to your backup sever on a cron job.

Being git you can put a commit message on any changes, so you know why
you had to make the change - very useful for knowing what to change on a
fresh system too, or reverting it when no longer needed.

It will also automatically commit the changes from updates making it
very easy to solve problems from config files being overwritten by the
package manager.
