I'll chime in and recommend rsync, too. But that is good for a SINGLE
backup, and bringing that backup up to date with your current set of
files. The obvious downside is that if you rm -rf your files and then
run rsync, your "backup" will be deleted, too.
There were some other good recommendations for backup problems here,
too. My personal favorite (which I've not seen) is Duplicity:
