In which case, a simple rsync would almost certainly be sufficient.
To improve the situation, you could consider RAIDing the target
storage, and putting it in another machine, but neither are essential
if cost is an important factor. If you want to keep multiple revisions,
consider one of the many rsync plus hard link options.

I'd use LVM snapshotting while taking the backup, too.
