Filesystem mirroring: best backup tool?
(feddit.de)
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 use timeshift on my arch, debian and fedora systems. First backup mirrors your whole drive, every new backup kinda does it like docker, files which stayed the same are being symlinked to the og backup and for file changes it puts the newer file into the next backup, file deletions just don't get links, so you have versioning. U can set how often backups will happen daily/weekly/monthly and how many are kept, doing backups manually is an option too. also you can set what folders to include, exclude and all that good stuff.
