What is the best way to setup an offsite backup server?

We currently backup our servers, but to a server within our datacenter. We have now setup another server in an outside datacenter for better protection that is P4 2.4 GHz with 3 gigs of ram and (4) 80 gig IDE hard drives - only 2 are mounted right now.

Would you recommend using ftp from server to server and then have it only send over the "changed" files from each account?

We have three servers that will be backed up onto our new backup server.

Our server admin team is working on this....I am not the technical one....but just wanted some ideas to pass along.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
