-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I would say so. It gives you incremental and full backups. It misuses snapshots for incremental backups, which has the downside of requiring "a bit" more free diskspace on your node. But doing backups this way is also faster than rsync'ing the whole container each time.
I'm using my script now since seven months and so far I have no reason to switch to something different. Before that I've tried pure rsync'ing and stuff like rsnapshot, but I like it more this way.
