I'm afraid it still strikes me as being rather a recipe for disaster. Consider the situation: you run an incremental backup at the end of each day. Your disk begins to fail, and slowly your documents begin to be corrupted, perhaps over a period of months. Each day, those newly-damaged files will overwrite the "good" versions on your backup device. You finally realise there's a problem and discover only then that your backup device contains corrupted files rather than the good versions it used to.
Not an option I'd use personally.
