Agree. One neat option of "tar" to remember is "-l". It limits tar
within same partition of disk (same filesystem). If you have large
mirror in separate partition like me, this is neat. (for me /home/ftp
is large debian mirror) "-N" should be for incremental but never used
it.
I should do mount/umount like you said so power failure has no effects.
