rsync is NOT a backup system.
It is a file copy system.

A backup system includes AGED versions of data.
Tape is a proven long term storage media and not unsuprisingly, tape 
storage formats have a longer life than such devices as floppies and 
especially crud such as hard disks.

My MFM hard disks are trash, but the old QIC tapes are still readable.
