you can use rdiff-backup from host A to B, or vice versa from B to A;
rdiff-backup has to be installed on both sides. if you want to use it via
SSH and automate this process (via cron for example), then you have to use
PubkeyAuthentication in SSH (look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config), so that you
don't have to give password every time.
If you need more help with rdiff-backup and/or SSH, feel free to write
again, I use this setup for some months now w/o problems, works fine!
