It really depends what you're backing up. For my own use I put a very simple backup script in my home directory in all of my shell accounts that goes something like this: cd ; tar cz | ssh myuser@mybox "dd of=~/backups/shellname.tar.gz"
This command line grabs all of the files out of the homedir on the current machine, puts them into a compressed tar archive, and dumps that archive over the network into a file on "mybox". Another option is to use a boot disk such as the OpenBSD installation floppy or the LinuxCare (I believe it was them) bootable business card which supports your network card and configuration. Not only will this allow you to tar up the whole filesystem but you can also do backups of raw disks or partitions over the network.
