Sounds like you need rsync. A few pointers below.

In short, with rsync you (can) create a one time full backup and after
that you transfer only the differences in files to your backup machine.
Very slick!

You can do this through ssh with key authentication, to make your traffic
secure and cron-able.

Homepage is at http://rsync.samba.org. This issue was recently on this
list (I believe even this month).

HTH... Nico
