You can do it very easily using rsync. RsyncX makes a nice graphical
tool to use the rsync utility, without having to understand the unix
command line. It will create an executable script that you can just
click to sync the two machines. The beauty of rsync is that it
compares what's on each disk, and only moves the data that is
different, or that has changed, between rsync sessions. We make
extensive use of cron scripts that use rsync over gigabit ethernet to
mirror non-RAID unix and linux servers, do workstation backups to
network servers, etc.
