Transferring the files with rsync means you can easily deposit them
elsewhere and you don't have to back up the whole thing every day.

Restoring from an image is much slower than a quick re-install and
rsyncing back /etc/ /home/ /var/ and anything else you care about. It's
also likely to be less error prone (e.g. if your restore is onto a
machine with a different sized disk you will have to start resizing
partitions, which isn't much fun remotely)

Cheers,
