It's not a bad idea, but you need enough free space on the client to
backup the entire system (which for me is not the case). Secondly,
every backup you do is a full backup as rsnapshot needs to access a
backup todo a incremental backup. You could mess around with something
like sshfs but's it's not great either. A straight rsync between
client and server could do it but it would suprise me if this doesn't
already exist in some form.
