There are many backup solutions, especially where the target save area is disk based.
Some are complex network based solutions and some are very simple.
I use a simple method that just writes out the incremental changes and is able to do restores using standard GNU utilities, in the event that the backup program is no longer available for any reason.

i.e. The backups are readable (with a bit of effort).

But a backup "solution" that can "accidentally" delete your files isn't worth having.

The Mirror function has the potential to cause a lot of file loss, intentional or unintentional, but before anything occurs there is, by default, a chart displayed that shows the quantity of data being moved and also indicating how much is being added AND DELETED on each side. If you’re not looking to delete anything, you’ve been warned to check your settings. This chart is also always displayed in the lower right corner. It’s easy to overlook, but you shouldn’t…
