It is: against the situation you fat-finger something and react
before the next backup happens (this is a threat worth being taken
into account). For that case, a backup with more than one "back"
version would be more useful (see --link-dest in rsync for that).

It is not against the system running amok and thrashing all attached
disks (be it by accident -- improbable, or by malice -- more probable.
cf. crypto-malware). Disconnected back ups are better here.

It is not for against your shed going up in flames. Off site for this.
