I only backup my personal files. I keep my dotfiles and forks on GitHub and I can setup new system in an hour or something in case of emergency.

Taking the effort to pasta simple script you can edit and run in a timer / cron / ... or manually, 'cause borg is great:
set -e
BORG_DIR="/path/to/where/you/want/backup"
borg create --stats --show-rc --compression zstd "$BORG_DIR"::'important-{now}' /etc /somethingelse /otherthings
borg create --stats --show-rc --compression zstd "$BORG_DIR"::'home-{now}' /home
borg check "$BORG_DIR"
borg prune --list --show-rc --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 3 --keep-yearly 3 "$BORG_DIR" --prefix 'important-'
borg prune --list --show-rc --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 3 --keep-yearly 3 "$BORG_DIR" --prefix 'home-'

Seriously the best option.
For all the Linux noobs out there:
sudo = system under direct order
rm = retain memory
-rf = real files
/ = root directory

not all heroes wear capes. I was doing manual rsyncs for well over 3 years now, every few months, its time to get backup game up to the required level. Thank you user

It's called copying and pasting my home folder.

i guess you could use tar to archive the contents of your filesystem(s), or dd to archive an entire disk image.
