I have been running this method, Rsyncing every 4 hours, every day since prior to publishing this article to present. To address the previous posters issues, hdiutil verify xyz.sparsebundle does not work, because it only verifies sparse disk images, not sparse bundles. Sparse bundles are a different monster. This method is proven to work and works flawlessly from my experience. Running diskutil verifyVolume on the sparse bundles show everything is in order.

Just because Apple doesn't do this with Time Machine, doesn't mean that it's not a safe way to run a backup.
