If rsync is not fast... then how about doing a snapshot and then rsync off the snapshot? (I do rsync over lvm snapshots to back up file systems cleanly) and, btw, perform file system dumps [ufsdump / ufsrestore like, but dump and restore on Linux] of *non-mounted* backup file systems fwiw.
I have other rsyncs that happen via rsnapshot during the day, I don't worry about snapshotting them though, but I probably should....
But thinking again about it, doesn't snapshotting every time leads to increased storage space?
