I like IDE disks now. They are fast and cheap.

Rsync is probably the tool you want for your job. It will only push/pull
the bits that have changed; thus its inherantly more efficient. I also like
that there is no single point of failure and is pretty simple & reliable
software. Other methods you might want to consider are DRDB, NFS, and
expect scripts.
Maybe you will find this thread interesting :

Sounds right. If I were you I'd run rsync through SSH (-e ssh) and setup
automatic key acceptance. I think there are some good posts in the archives
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server) about this.
