This seems like an excellent approach. Personally i use BackupPC which internally uses rsync and allows for incremental backups, compression and deduplication of said backups as needed, then copying the data over to additional HDDs with cron.
Works pretty decently on a slow residential connection, since it all happens in the background through WireGuard and one of my homelab boxes. Plus, BackupPC allows to test restoring backups with a single click, on a per-file or per-directory basis.
Of course, internally the solution is a bit of an Eldritch mess with Perl and whatnot, so other pieces of software like Bacula might be more popular in comparison.
