We do use it.
IMHO, those are minimum recommendations:
1) start using it! It's easy and robust.
2) for minimal impact over production servers, setup replicated servers
and create your backup from slave servers.
3) *_test your backups_*. This is a MUST HAVE - no option here.
4) have your backup server in different cities, or states, or even
countries. Never, ever create a backup on the server at the side of your
production server.
5) only communicate with your servers using SSH and private key
certificates. Establish a PKI infrastructure in a way that production
and backup servers only communicate using SSH and certificates.
6) your backup servers shall never ever be connected directly to the
internet. Hackers love low attention backup servers running with minimal
security.
No backup solution (no matter which one you choose) is 100% guaranteed:
your disks may fail, your network mail fail, your memory may fail, files
get corrupted - so, setup a regular "restore" to separate "test backup
server" on daily basis. Having a virtual server for this purpose has
minimal budget impact if any at all, and you save your sanity in case of
a disaster.
