rsync does this. You will want to read the man page carefully before setting up recurring backuups and make decisions about.
1. what happens to deleted files 2. integrity checks (two layer backups can help, but if you are dealing with something that has a relatively quick check run it before you copy a corrupted original onto the backup site...) 3. backups will not make you safe, they will only make you safer. (IOW what happens if your backup system fails, will you notice? before you need to recover something?)
