Just saw this thread in the list and thought I'd point out a little bash
script I wrote for laptop users that want to do backups in the office or
on the road using rsync and ssh. Using the latest version of rsync.

Hi,
We're doing offsite backups using rsync, more or less the cookbook example
using:
rsync --numeric-ids --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --recursive --archive \
--relative --sparse --one-file-system \
--compare-dest=/vol/backup/$HOSTNAME/current $HOSTNAME:$DIRECTORY \
/vol/back
