best way to move a filesystem to another server - frequently

Hi all,

What do you think is the best way to move a filesystem nightly to another server to mirror the filesystem?

I was thinking along the lines of writing a script to make a tar.gz, move it to a web accessable directory, then using wget on the other machine to obtain the archive, then another cron job to extract the archive.

However perhaps this is the hard way to do it?

I was wondering if maybe rsync could verify if the filesystem on the source server had changed and if so then make the archive, send it to the destination server,and extract it.

I amopen to any suggestions or methods anyone might have.

Thanks!
