Backuppc is ideal for this - it not only uses rsync over ssh for the
xfer (along with some other choices) but it keeps the files compressed
and uses hardlinks to de-duplicate the storage so you can keep a much
longer history on line than you would expect. There's an rpm in epel,
home page is here: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
