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? Jerome
