Is Rsyncing git repo good enough backup solution?

Question

I often backup my laptop to an external hard drive. Is rsyncing git repos over good enough backup solution or are there any problems with this method?

Answer 1

I have a repo I keep on hosting that I push to. If I want to work somewhere I clone it, push changes back when I'm done.

You could rsync it too, but I found it easier to clone a repo out and then use it as my main dev spot. I think using one tool might be easier, but your mileage may vary.
