have a look at rsync- it can run over ssh. you could also use tar over ssh.

this link might help to start:

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-back-up-over-a-network-using-rsync/

i use the following rsync options to make sure i have all the bases covered:

sudo rsync -aEHXAv --progress --stats /path/to/source/dir/ /path/to/dest/dir/

you can also run rsync as a dry run (to test without actually copying files) with the --dry-run or -n option.

the rsync man page has this section for help using it over ssh: USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION

keep in mind with rsync trailing slashes on directory paths are important.

hope this was kind of what you had in mind...
