Have people been using Sparsebak? What are your experiences? I havent
been able to test it myself yet, And will it be submitted as a package
to Qubes?
I've been getting reports from some users who are testing sparsebak as
alpha software. They report that its well behaved, and so far there has
been no reported incident of data loss due to bugs. I myself have also
been using it to backup several times a day and have relied on it to
restore on more than one occasion.
It probably will be submitted for the community/contrib repository when
it hits beta, which I hope will be fairly soon (my shortlist for beta
has stopped growing and is getting shorter :) ).
General observations:
* Its fast and reliable.
* The archive format is still very simple.
* De-duplication is now working as an experimental feature.
* Still no direct handling of VM configs (copying qubes.xml to a trusted
VM, or just backing up dom0 root can take care of that).
* Setting up encryption for the archive is the only hassle; I made a
small shell script to mount and unmount a LUKS container in dom0 when
necessary.

If you start using sparsebak now, I suggest taking the version from the
latest 'new5' branch.
