I've used rsync with great success.  It really does a good job of only
copying parts that have changed.  It's set up to work locally (HDD to
HDD on one computer) or across a network using an ssh encrypted connection.

Very nice, I've used it both ways (HDD to HDD and over network) with
no problems.

rsync is in the ports.
