I'd like to add that a mirror isn't a reliable backup; regardless of that mirror being RAID, or scheduled synchronisation.
It may mitigate against data-loss in certain scenarios of catastrophic hardware failure, but wont protect data from accidental (or intentional) deletion, and/or file corruption. I'm not sure how rsync handles reads with bad blocks; but with certain flags (see --partial) it may also corrupt the target file?
