Generations also don't allow you to btrfs send/receive, which I

back up whole Guix Systems over the Internet, I don't know of

(rsync can't, nor can borg or restic or…, and everything else
is
too much work :o).
Question: What is the point of backing up a Guix system if the
config.scm suffices?
I did blatantly invite that question, didn't I :-)
Is there something that is not contained in config.scm?
So. much. state.
‘Oh, right, /etc/networkmanager's gone now. Let me get my
notebook with passwords. Oh, that reminds me: all user passwords
are empty, have to change that ASAP. Phew. Oh, I have to
reinstall my printer, good thing I have time for that while people
are angrily calling me about deadlines. What's this about changed
SSH host ke—’
That's trivial stuff I thought of while writing, and it already
adds up to minutes of human work (=downtime). All at the most
inconvenient and stressful time. Now multiply that by the number
of things I forgot.
I don't consider a back-up that can't be restored while drunk a
back-up.
[…] time, of course! ;)
I've learnt the hard way over the years that, for me, nothing else
matters.
