Depending on your OS and distro, you might like to look at star as
backup utility. It's included with my Red Hat (RHAS/RHEL3) distros.

It backs up a lot of funny Unix things, including ACLs (which the utilities
you mentioned do not) and works using UTF8, which you should have
as standard on your shares.
