What is the best software for backing up incrimental back ups to a remote server?

There will not be a lot of data, i just need something i can rely on.

Mozy might be what your looking for, Ive been running that for the past 6 months without problems, there is a free and paid version.

something like acronis true image or backup exec version 12.5 both allow remote back up to different server and to remote servers via ftp

I guess the important question is - to your remote server or to someone elses?

If you own the server then try what Philip said, if you don't own the server and you're looking for a way to get data offsite then look at Mozy Enterprise.

That MozyPro looks like exactly what we need for some of our remote offices.

Anyone using Mozy Pro or Enterprise for server backup? Comments / thoughts? Have you had to restore anything into Exchange or SQL?

MozyPro for over a year on two servers without any problems - restores take a while to be built at their end but work nicely. Can't comment on the 2nd part of your Q.

If you're running unix yes, it's worth considering.

clonezilla is ok too, i found acronis to be pretty slow on bigger disks

I have been playing with netboot and sending files using ssh
