Even better thing... rsync, for backup.

I would think that rclone to S3/GCS/Backblaze would be better, because what if your rsync target is also encrypted with something like this?

rsync...is not a backup strategy, being exactly as vulnerable to ransomware are as your local file. Unless you pair it with something else, but then that's not exactly 'rsync for backup'
