[Techtalk] multiple server backup

What's the best way to do backup of multiple servers (in this case, a 
mail/news server and a web server)? The web server has the tape drive.

There are 3 ways that it occurs to me to do the backup:
- NFS (but security is then an issue)
- rsync (but then that requires space on the web server)
- scp/ftp (same as above)

Suggestions? Something I'm missing? I've heard of NFS over ssh. Does it 
work? Is it hard to set up? Does it take care of the security issues of NFS?
