I do this using rsync. Remote FreeBSD machines are straightforward. For Windows computers wishing to backup remotely I am starting to use: http://sync2nas.sourceforge.net/ I also find it helps to start with a copy of their data from some medium like a tape, CD(s) or DVD, or even a hard drive moved from one machine to another. Otherwise, the initial transfer can, literally, take weeks.
