Sure, if one's willing to have not just one, but two or even more PCs running, this is even better. Just make sure your rsync doesn't do a full sync and also delete files ;)
I'd say either or: either automate, but don't delete, or launche the synchronization manually, when you know what you're doing... I'm an optimist, I'm doing the latter: I have rsync remove stuff, but I only run it manually from time to time (yes, I could always loose the last three discs I ripped).
You could as well keep another copy of the data on a independent disc (maybe even attached to the same computer), only mouted when needed for backup, and keep a copy of the data there.
Exactly what I'm doing. I sync to two different targets alternatively: once to a second slimserver, once to an external disk, which is only mounted to be synched.
