Not if you use the --backup --backup-dir options.  In fact I use these to 
create an incremental backup type of solution.  The normal backup is just 
disk to disk to give me pretty quick recovery in the face of disaster or disk 
failure, and the other to then create for (for instance) my home directory 
daily snapshots of whats changed.
