rsync is a sync tool pretending to be a backup tool, and you fell for it
A mirror with rsync copies your mistakes instantly. Delete a file, run the cron, it's gone on both sides. No versions, no history, no rollback.
restic, borg, kopia give you deduplicated, versioned, encrypted snapshots you can roll back by date.
— rsync: mirrors corruption faithfully
— restic/borg: time machine you can trust
Use rsync to move data, not to protect it. If your backup is a one-way mirror, it's an accident waiting to happen. Fight me.
