rsync with CPanel?

A friend of mine has a small hosting account on a CPanel box, and was asking me about making backups. She has a dialup connection; it takes forever to download backups.

I wanted to suggest something like rsync, which could just transfer what's changed. But I don't believe CPanel boxes have rsync, do they? (Unfortunately, I don't run the box, and I'm fairly sure she doesn't even have shell access, so just installing rsync on it isn't at all an option.)

Are there any easy ways to do differential backups with CPanel? And do you think we might see rsync standard with CPanel anytime soon? It'd be a really nice feature to have.
