Burp VS rclone

If you just need them for backup, I'd just get regular HDDs, and even better, put them outside of the PC into a separate system, even a raspberry pi 4 with USB HDDs would do. I use burp backup at home https://github.com/grke/burp (I run the server on a separate Linux PC with 2 HDDs in mirror), it's pretty simple to set up, if you're familiar with Linux and editing config files.

Truly suprised not seeing burp mentioned anywhere in these comments. Super reliable, laptop friendly and with lots of Nice features.

rclone: a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage.

Synchronise buckets with Sclone or Rclone

Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.

There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

rclone [1] to dropbox. works since years without problems

rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.
