What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?

I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?

Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

@mirekdlugosz I don't do external drive backups. My main reason for it is: if I get infected with ransomware (doubt, but who knows) then the external drive will also be fcked.

I use Borgbackup via https://www.borgbase.com/

They have a thing setup so that even if you have the api key to backup to borgbase, you can't mass delete all the backups. Only if you login can you do that.

They make an easy to use backup client as well: https://vorta.borgbase.com/

Or one they sponsor: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/pika-backup
