Whether my opinion is valid really depends on your needs.

The things I really need when I back up a server are /var/, /etc/, and /opt/. Anything else can be regenerated.

Partition structure has little to do with directory structure. Backing up entire filesystems may preclude restoration to anything but a very similar machine.

Data files and system files really don't belong together. System files and utilities change rarely and on a regular schedule, data files change often.

Many daemons have ways to lock their datafiles for backup without shutting down the system.
