I use local rsync for backing up the server itself (indeed, for about 70 servers), and it has always been fine for me. I don't think the checksumming really makes much difference, as once it is copied (to itself) it will still have to be checksummed to go into the pool. Is the checksum caching rsync does the same as the checksum that is stored in the pool?
