It's how I would do it. rsync over SSH with compression is CPU intensive 
on both ends, but reasonably efficient with bandwidth, recoverable if 
something bad happens, and easily repeatable with minimal bandwidth
if you need to sync up changes later.

If only I could rsync my brain to a backup... that would be glorious.
