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/
I agree with Les on this ... if you are looking to do those kind of backups, backuppc is very good. I use it in production at several places.
There is also a CentOS wiki article on backuppc:
