[kwlug-disc] Transferring large backup files over the network

[Paul Nijjar]

Say I have a big (multi-terabyte) collection of backup files (which
tend to be large, in the tens of gigabytes) sitting on some server A. 

I have a LAN connection (maybe gigabit, maybe 100MBit) available and
another server B in a different building. I want to regularly transfer
the collection of files from server A to server B each evening. 

Maybe the filesystem on server A is NTFS, but this is a soft
requirement that I would try to work around if I could. 

What FLOSS tools would be best for this use case and why? 
If you know of good solutions that would play with NTFS, that is a
bonus. (rsync is not in that category, especially if Server A has to
run Windows.) But even if we soften the NTFS requirement, I am not
sure whether rsync is still the best solution here.
