I don't know about you, but for me rsh works really great. 10 line
shell script (which could be probably even shorter if I would bother
with it for more then minute) works better over rsh then anything
else I saw till now. But on the other hand someone might have some
security issues with it, which can be minimized with proper config
though.
Otherwise I remember seeing some fancy backup program running via
telnet or ssh, but to be honest I forgot name of that thing.

Have fun,
