I rsync all my servers to some local disk. It takes a long time the first time of course, as all the files have to be transferred. But the next time is faster. The bottleneck used to the the 100mbps lan (10mB/s), but when i switched to 1gbs (100mB/s) the bottleneck became the disks. Encryption and compression are not an issue these days, as core2quads are cheap and fast.
