Sounds to me like you want differential backups rather than version control.
To me, version control includes things like management of versions, logging
what has changed and who changed it, etc. On the other hand, a differential
backup can check files on a daily basis (or more, or less) but still only
make a new backup if something changes from the last backup.
"faubackup" would probably cover what you need fairly easily, providing a list
of backups by main folder and date in a backup directory.
