doesn't he just mean that he uses RSYNC to that the mirror and the source are in current sync rather than staggered as would happen in a ndmpcopy or anything other backup sort of operation?

Then, during the week run rsync's with --delete to keep things nicely in sync. This is something ndmpcopy can't do (I think).... if you do a level 0 + level 1 you won't get deletes.
No, that's completely false. ndmpcopy uses the same underlying apparatus as other ndmp operations (or straight dump / restore, for that matter). Deletions and renamings are dealt with correctly in incremental dumps and restores: they wouldn't be much use if they weren't.
