Backing up a directory to a remote file system

I've got a head scratcher. It seems it should be possible but maybe just
beyond my reach.

Wondering if anyone here has ever accomplished remote back up on a
Reiser filesystem. I was going to use dump + SSH + .rhosts but then I
realized that dump only works with ext(2|3) file systems.

I want to perform incremental backups of /pub on a Linux samba server to
a box on the other side of Kansas City. Some combination involving tar
looks like the right direction to go but I can't think of a way to have
tar incrementally compare the files being backed up to the remote
tarball before the operation begins. I'm not ready to rely on sshfs
until it is more stable.

Any ideas? Creative solutions welcome.
