I use ansible to configure the OS and to maintain my home. From there I am able to spawn my environment within minutes on a fresh installed system. Local history of data (not backup) is done by scheduled file system snapshots (zfsnap). I use this whenever I accidentally delete files or directories. It saved my a55 at least once within all the years I have it running. For instant sync of data between laptops and remote systems, I use syncthing (direct connection through ssh tunnels) And to the question of backup: borgbackup. But only selected directories of my home. The rest can be reinstalled via ansible.
