Aside from the suggestions already mentioned, also look at using rdist over a ssh tunnel. See the man page for rdist. This would be more efficient than nfs.
RDIFF-BACKUP
______________
Excerpts from the manual mention :-
"The target directory ends up
a copy (mirror) of the source directory, but extra reverse
diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target
directory, so you can still recover files lost some time
ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror
and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves
symlinks, special files, hardlinks, permissions, uid/gid
ownership, and modification times.
~ you can use ssh
and rdiff-backup to securely back a hard drive up to a
remote location, and only the differences will be trans
mitted. Using the default settings, rdiff-backup requires
that the remote system accept ssh connections, ~ "
