You're actually not the first to mention rsync, I'll man rsync and see what I can get!
You might also like backuppc: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/. It can use ssh and rsync (or tar or smb...) to back up remote machines and it uses a scheme with compression and hard links of duplicates to greatly increase the amount of data it can keep on line in a given amount of space.
