I love basic rsync commands to backup my homelab instead of any other services. I umderstand why anybody would use restic/borg/kopia/… but rsync seems so bulletproof. Implementing basic command with bash script and cron job, it is a set and forget backup solution.

I even added some logging and notification solutions to bash script and it’s working flawlessly so far.
