This is a wide topic. :)) There are lots of backup tools and strategies. Some are mentioned in https://wiki.debian.org/BackupAndRecovery https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch10.en.html#_backup_and_recovery I myself make backups on optical media by scdbackup and xorriso. Other backups of mine go to remote computers by rsync. Have a nice day :) Thomas
