I use subversion to backup and track my org files.
I have a server in my office running the subversion server.

Access is by port forwarding the subversion port via ssh - no matter 
being under windows (putty) or under Linux (ssh).
In this way I have my subversion server and repository virtually 
"local", that is acces is always via

svn://localhost/repository


I also track all my .emacs.d specific files, especially the org-mode 
files themselves as well as icicles and all kinds of libraries etc.
This makes it easy to update my whole emacs installation on any of my 3 
desktops and 3 notebooks.
