Well, if I plan to use it along with Bacula, a client needs another amount of 
data-space in a backup-server (and a chroot'ed user for rsync) - user would 
then rsync his data into the server and Bacula would back it up every night, 
right? Sounds complicated for a wider use.

I still think that if there was a way for marking a failed job as successful, 
it would be just about enough.
