[ale] backup suggestions

I'm doing the vast majority of development on a laptop currently, and I'd
like to back up all work to another one of my machines each evening before
bed.

What would you suggest as far as a backup solution?  While ideally I'd be
able to image the entire drive (recover the full environment in the event
of a crash), I don't know of any tools to do this.  My impulse is to write
a script that will simply scp selected directories over to the box each
night, but interested in hearing any other suggestions.  Anyone had
experience with rsync?  Are there added benefits available from using it?

Thanks for the help.

John
