LOL, not at all... I've backed systems up so many different ways over the years.

rsync, borg backup or other tools might fit the bill. I used TAR for a long time with my Mystic board - until it became too large for that to work easily...

After migrating 2oFB from a Raspberry Pi to a proper Dell server machine, running ProxMox Hypervisor, I've added another machine that runs ProxMox Backup Server. I make daily, weekly and other backups using that PBS system now - its super easy and I can recover from any issue that the gods might throw at me... I think. :P
