What is your linux backup strategy?
(self.linux)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really make backups only a few times. I have the configuration files of my systems on my GitHub and Codeberg. The rest, I don't need; the only things I keep are books and music that I download from the internet, which I have on a 1TB external hard drive.
When I have made a backup for a specific reason, I have done it with rsync. It's a tool that works quite well and is for the command line.
