Those people who have more expertise on the matter might have a better
answer, but,

I suggest you grab rsync [rsync.samba.org], it is a small unix application
(there might be a port to Windows on the web page if that is what you
have) created by Andrew Tridgell of Samba fame. From what I understand
Data.fs contains all the information regarding your setup. What samba does
is that it will calculate the binary differences betweem two files and
transport this difference to your 'live' machine. Simply set up a cron job
to do this when you want, say at the end of the working day or whatever or
simply from the command line. I assume you would have to shut down the
server whilst doing this but I might be wrong?       

Thanks,
