Agree. One neat option of "tar" to remember is "-l". It limits tar within same partition of disk (same filesystem). If you have large mirror in separate partition like me, this is neat. (for me /home/ftp is large debian mirror) "-N" should be for incremental but never used it. I should do mount/umount like you said so power failure has no effects.
