That's the way it should be.

The difference with my dozen or so Pi's is I do the incremental backup 
to the NAS, not directly onto its filing system, but into an image file 
which was created from the Pi's SD card. This means that if any of the 
Pi's SD cards fail, I can just get a card of the same size and write the 
image file straight back on to it, and be up and running again in minutes.
