Personally I prefer using rsync, which is generally the better choice
for this kind of job.

You don't need to install rsyncd on the machines, you'll just need the
rsync command.
Something similar will be required to be issued:
root at B# rsync -e ssh -avHx A:/data/cyrus/ /data/

Don't forget, that it will not succeed if A and B has some arch
differencies, eg. i386 and amd64. At least is resulted segfault at me.

Bye,
    Miham.
