Instaloader is pretty good for backing up Instagram accounts but it's easy to trigger Instagram's anti-bot protections using it. I use a secondary account to avoid locking out my main and even then it took ~4 days to download my 9k posts because of the lockouts and rate-limiting. But once you've got the main bulk down, you can run it once a day to fill in anything new and that's pretty reliable.
