Comment on Backing up easily

I’d recommend a solid backup client. This isn’t something you want to find broken when you need it.
Kopia is what I use, and it supports local (LAN) targets, as well as cloud storage if you want 3:2:1 for some or all of your data. Good luck!

Agreed. Rsync will happily sync a deletion you didn’t mean to do.

Rsync can rename/move target changed or gone from the source.
I use those options so that I get a separate ‘archive’ dir next to my backup target, with old versions of files.
It’s useful for loose collections such as photos.
