Check out BackupPC - it will do rsync backups and store them very 
intelligently on a remote box - you can set it to backup as often as you 
like ...

It saved my ass when my FreeBSD co-lo server disk died - I had a backup 
up to date as of midnight that let me restore the machine (I back it up 
over a DSL line without problems)
