From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could rsync with directories shared on the local network, like a samba share or similar. It's a bit slower than ssh but for regular incremental backups you probably won't notice any difference, especially when it's supposed to run in the background on a schedule.
Alternatively use a non-password protected ssh key, as already suggested.
You can also write rsync commands or at least a shell script that copies all of your desired directories with one command rather than one per file.
