rsync will be first back up tool u want to consider. But in your case there are more things to worry about. Your internet connection more specifically, do you have static ip at both ends or do u get assigned dynamic ips on each connect. If so you may need to do some dirty work to keep track of your changing ips -- Sincerely, A.
