Backups directed to /dev/null would be incredibly fast and just as useful.  J

From what little testing I did here backups work but not restores. 


That doesn't sound very useful :-)

It sounds to me like even if you did testing and it appeared to work, do you really, really want your production servers to have an unsupported backup configuration?
  
It also sounds like if you only want to back on non-OS files, you'll be okay.  You just need to have another plan if you wipe out the system disk.
