 Well, you can setup rsync very easily. Download it from rsync.samba.org,
set up rsync to run from your inetd.conf, and setup an rsync share of
/home/ for instance.

 Then, you should be just able to run:

    rsync://host1/home /home/

 each night, and the content would be copied over.

 Rsync sounds perfect for your needs.
