Uups: Some Cron Processes? That seems to be your profession.
Commandline Batches could be mine. 
Overall: versioning would be a very very fine option!

Indeed very much stress doing a server solution. I thought 
about a programm-solution installed on desktop but 
acessable with a browser. For example the preconfigured 
programm could be used in intranets to setup spezified 
archives.

Xavier I see: the *.arc format is special for scientific 
archiving - the site will not be changed and is backed up 
in its origine: That meets scientific aims but is very 
uncomfortable to handle.
How to get that golden scientific plugin?
I want to remember twice on the idea of versioning. This 
could be very fine used to work with for constructive 
internet researches. Even you meet a interesting site or 
even some downloads you start a project and download this 
page with specified links.
Now you can link in your intranet very fine to that page 
and files. That would be a very concrete way for searching: 
no more problems about lost links a very concrete data 
place for downloads...
Further with IE you can survey a page about changes...
