If you are on a private network, you can use rsync over rsh from your
laptop to the backup server. If you're doing it over a public
network, then use rsync over ssh. If you use ssh, you'll probably
want passwordless public keys.
The other thing to do is look at a more sophisticated backup solution
like Bacula.
