Use 'scp' or 'rsync'.

Set up ssh server on the machine you want to back up (see /etc/ssh/sshd.conf) to allow access to the backup machine, set them for key-based authentication so there's no password typing and copy stuff out using rsync (or scp) with ssh. You can then process the copied files to .tar or write them out to tape or whatever on the backup machine. rsync will copy diffs, not whole files so it will be quicker (and probably more like what you want).

To do this, you'll need to understand a little about how ssh works. If you're new to Linux, you don't have too much to worry about here - ssh is one of the simplest server tools to set up (but it can get very complicated if you want to do lots of clever things).

Take a look at the manual page for ssh, try 'man ssh' and 'man ssh_config' at the command prompt. I think you can also do 'man sshd' and 'man sshd_config' (but I'm not at my Linux PC right now, so I cant check...)
