rsync is great, and there's a few utils that uses it such as rdiff-backup.
On the other hand, if the number of machines you're backing up and
restoring is a bit larger, I've developed a fondness for bacula myself.
Not directly relevant to the OP's immediate problem, but it's a very
nice system, and you can configure it to send you pretty much any
level of info you want to see on what it does.
