Rsync looks like an ideal solution. Does it mirror file permissions &
ownership?

-----------------------
"Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into
sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences
in the files over the network instead of sending the complete
files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or
just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical
report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this
package." - rpmfind.net

We use rsync, it works a treat and backs up everything.  To restore we just
place a drive into the swapable bay on the backup server, mount it, rebuild
and then put that drive into the raq chassis.
