For one thing, full-volume backups preserve partition information, making recovery much simpler. If I had to recover a hundred Linux systems, dig through the system documentation to figure out which partitions were what size, and belonged to these particular file systems or were LVM PVs (or md volumes), a lot of time could go by before we even started restoring data from tape.
