Yah, I really like this approach. Same reason I set up Timeshift and Mint Backup on all the user machines in my house. For others rsync + cron is aces.

Rsnapshot. It uses rsync, but provides snapshot management and multiple backup versioning.

Yes, but a few hours writing my own scripts will save me from several minutes of reading its documentation…

It took me like 10 min to setup rsnapshot (installing, and writing systemd unit /timer files) on my servers.

I’m sure I could script something similar in under 10 (hours).
