That sounds like you have the right choice of tool then haha, just remember to test your backups every so often; I'm guessing you're using an external hard drive with the pi -- noticed any problems from the USB and ethernet sharing a bus? I've seen that as the common reason to avoid using it as a torrent box or anything IO heavy.

It's kinda slow. But for me slow isn't the end of the world. If I fat-finger delete a vacation album, it will only take a few minutes to restore. If a laptop crashes and I have a few hundred GBs to restore, I'll just unplug the drive and transfer directly.
