However, from the implementation point of view I think this is a bit of overhead since it requires local disk space being available and there must be additional logic to detect whether rsync actually succeeded... kind of similar to dumping some large SQL database (where one often can not afford the temporary disk space)
In the specific case of SQL database backup, if you halt the SQL server then you can safely backup the databases, however a dump means the tables can be reconstructed on almost any SQL-speaking database server (modulo minor tweaks)
