man rsync.
You can use it over ssh, too. rsync -e ssh rsync -e 'ssh -l someuser' ....
More specifically, I use:
rsync -auvzr -e ssh /path/to/local/dir/ <name of remote machn>:/path/to/backup/dir/
and back up directories nightly.
Note the trailing slashes on the above paths. They are important.
Before I retired I was using rsync to backup many gig of data across a wan connection and also used the compression switch. Very good program. Also the trailing "/" is only needed on the source not the destination.

Which is better for backup dump or rsync?
Rsync. Dump has been stagnent and unsupported for eons, and it was cranky to use even when it was still in development. Mike- -- If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs...
