I guess rsync would do it. It's like a copy tool that only transfers the changes and it can work both locally and over network connections. It is a command line tool though. I don't know what OS you're running, but there are also some rsync GUI frondends out there I believe. BackupPC also supports rsync as a backend, but it might be overkill for just backing up a single machine. Also take a look at rdiff-backup if you want to keep multiple versions of files. BackupPC also supports rsync as a backend, but setting up a BackupPC server for just one machine might be overkill maybe. It will work though and its web interface is very handy for restoring files.
