For backups, I recommend rdiff-backup. It's fairly comprehensive, fast, and does incremental backups very easily.

It's freely available, but I don't know if there are any premade CentOS packages for it.

rsync can also be used, (rdiff-backup already uses librsync) but rsync doesen't store the increments it transfers. With rsync you can easily keep a copy of your data, but you can't easily keep the change history of your data.

They both use rsync. – mr-euro Oct 26 '09 at 15:51
I'd also add backuppc to the list. Similar to Dirvish, but comes with a nice web UI. – David Pashley Oct 26 '09 at 16:35
Thx for BackupPC. Nice suggestion! – mr-euro Oct 27 '09 at 10:23

The rsync docs have an example that might do what you want: http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html

Also, if some is compressed files that change a little (but keep the same names), gzip --rsyncable will keep changes minimized to make rsync need to copy less.
