It's OK.  A versioned backup system (dump/restore, Legato Networker, Amanda, 
Retrospect, etc) is more efficient at using backup storage.

If it's local and you already have NFS in place, that would be fine.  If you're 
backing up over a WAN, rsyncd is probably a better call.

Lots.  The handbook has a chapter on backups which is worth reading, also....
