A couple of suggestions:
- You don't need to put anything into fstab. You can mount from the command line with sudo mount ...
- I'd mount your source partitions read only. Harder to mess things up that way. Don't try that on the live root partition though.
- rsync can copy a live file system so no need to mount the backup image for copying.
- rsync -avxXHAh may give better results:
-x, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries
-X, --xattrs preserve extended attributes
-A, --acls preserve ACLs (implies -p)
-H, --hard-links preserve hard links
