Loading? Why would you stop/start backuppc any more often than your
mysql daemon?

Another thing to consider is the difficulty of moving your
installation from one machine to another (probably with a different or
upgraded OS, possibly with a different CPU type) without losing
history, Or making duplicate copies for offsite storage. Having to
deal with a separate daemon and a separately-changing data format adds
complications for not-much benefit unless it also lets you scale up or
gives you redundancy.
