You could run rsync in daemon mode on server2, then use rsync on server1
to push the data to server2. See rsync(1) and rsyncd.conf(5).

Assuming you have a module [backups] in rsyncd.conf on server2, you can
do something like this on server1 (where part1 is a partition/directory
you want to back up):

rsync -acvx --delete /part1/ server2::backups/part1
