I doubt if most people want to go a week without running backups, and if 
your source changes after mapping the inodes for hardlinks you are going 
to have a problem.   It might be interesting to compare this to a dd or 
partclone image copy of the partition as long as you are going to the 
same filesystem type and have an equal or larger amount of space on the 
target (you should be able to resize larger after a copy).
