I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system.
What do people use to backup Centos systems?
you can use rsync which uses ssh but is faster than scp because it only transfers the change between two files.
Rsync is one of the options that backuppc can use for the transport. There should be a packaged backuppc in the centos testing repo, but it isn't hard to install from source.
