Hard disagree about the manual copying. I did that for years and that is how you get a mess. “Did I back up that project? On what date?”

You will inevitably omit something you want. Just rsync the entire home folder as a first pass backup strategy.

Yeah, I'm not advising they do that for the rest of their life, I suggested that as Step 1, just offload it somewhere first. Then the later steps are setting up syncing, in my previous comment those were steps 2-6.
