Rsync is another one-off approach where you have to roll your own
commands per target.   Backuppc can use rsync as the transport,
collating all the results into one centrally managed archive with a
web interface that makes it easier to set up than rsync itself.  Plus
it will compress the data and pool all identical content so you can
keep much more history online than you would expect.
