[support] Drupal files synchronization

[Pierre Rineau]

You have be careful with rsync, at least you don't update code files.
But if you do, you'll have to put your site in maintenance mode to avoid
users running drupal code whenever files are desync with database, this
could lead to serious issues (may be it could have side effect with
uploaded files too).
