Another advantage is that the resulting image can be quickly and reliably 
verified against the source machine. I have trouble feeling comfortable 
with a backup solution unless I can check a few random files easily to make 
sure the system is getting completely backed up. I'd love to be able to say:

diff -rq /mnt/Samba/client /mnt/BackupPC/client

and see miscompares on files I know are changing, and otherwise silent.
