I run rsync nightly, to the same directory, without running into any issues. Of course there are some configurations within rsync to keep in mind when going the route of one backup directory versus rotation, mainly regarding the fact that you want to tell rsync to delete files within the backup directory that are not within the source directory. I dont believe it is on by default, so something to keep in mind.
