I think the most common approach is "tahoe backup".  It does a good job.
 Personally I'm using a (half-baked) tool that I built called GridBackup.
 It's handles backing up large data volumes better, and if I ever get it
finished will be better all around.  Right now I wouldn't recommend it
unless you're interested in hacking on it.  The built-in backup/restore
tool is pretty decent, though.
