I'm not sure how high your requirement on the "it just werks" factor are, but I can not recommend borgbackup enough for general use. They have a script[0] for local backups one can copy-paste in a cronjob and it takes care of backups reliably from that day on. Saved me from my own stupidity more times than I'm comfortable admitting.

- falcolas 6y agoNot to disparage your comment or recommendation, but “it just works” typically means you don’t have to go looking for software (or muck with cron) to do things like ‘backups’. For me, it’s reasons like that which keep me on Apple: 90% of my basic computer operation/maintenance usecases are already taken care of, or have first party software to take care of it. I leave finessing linux operations and programs for my day job.
