There is no question for me: If you don't have historical copies,
you don't have a backup. The most common data loss issues are human
error and if your sync time passes before that is noticed then you
don't have any backups of the data any more.
No argument that most problems are quickly fixed by having an
additional copy of data immediately to hand, because most problems
are detected quickly. But data loss events are rare catastrophic
occurrences anyway, so the argument that it will almost always be
good enough is not, er, good enough. :)
If you have rsync ability at both ends then this is really easy to
do anyway, so it's not worth not doing it IMHO. rsnapshot,
rdiff-backup, backuppc, etc.
Cheers,
Andy
