Copying entire websites to make backup on the server

I am making a lot of updates to many files in a IIS virtual directory and I would like to be able to easily roll back all these changes. In order to do this I am creating local backups on my laptop of the entire web so I have a complete copy. But having to do this over the web is extremely time consuming. Is there some way I can do it all on the server by making a copy of a virtual directory all on the web server?

Thanks,

David

 

You are going to need to use FTP. Is there any particular reason why you need to roll back so often?
