Yes these are true - however I have had reasonable success with
un-dumped mysql files - you loose uncommitted transactions but generally
it has been acceptable...
Anyway - remember to use the --rsyncable switch to gzip (you may need to
modify automysqlbackup). it lets rdiff-backup diff the .tar.gz files of
the database dumps much more efficiently. Not all gzips have this
switch, and even more dont even have it in the man page....

Just remember that rdiff-backup generally won't be a useful way to
backup your database.
True, we use something like this every few hours:
