I'd worry about restore time.  In my experience, it was always 2-3
times longer to
do restores than it was to do the backups on large filesystems. Some
of this may have
been driven by the speed of our restore media; we never really did disk-to-disk.

Invariably, it's during a DR event that you need to shave time, not during a
backup window.
