What about files changing?

I don't think files changing is an issue here since (correct me if I'm wrong) no files or directories will ever change in a TM backup. TM will only add new files or directories (or hard links) and remove expired ones. What I think could happen is that you might only get a partial copy of the latest backup in the event TM is currently doing its work but that should be fixed with the next rsync.
