[Discuss] Linux backups

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

I am in the process of moving my home directory to a new laptop (framework)
and retiring my tower. On the tower, I use back in time, but my tower has 4
multiple terabyte removable hdds that I use for my primary backup and
Dropbox for my off-site needs.
For the laptop, I'm considering either back in time or another backup. And
Dropbox is installed on my laptop. Unlike the tower, the laptop will be
turned off frequently, and also the backup device will be an SSD. So, is
like a backup that can wake up on boot and detect if the backup device is
mounted, but can be restricted to 1 backup a day. Back in time can detect
if the device is mounted, but I just want recommendation for some other
backup systems you have used.
