Certainly works for me. I don't mind sharing a bit about what I find.
It is the multiple-volume aspect of this that makes it tricky.  A lot
of solutions require the backup to fit in a single mounted directory,
or on some cloud service where a directory typically has "infinite"
capacity.

So far tar is one tool that always has supported multiple volumes,
which of course makes sense when you think about how tapes work.
