   These tools are great if you want easy file or folder backups without   
   much setup:   
      
   Déjà Dup Backups    
   A user-friendly GUI backup tool (often installed by default on GNOME   
   desktops). Supports scheduled backups, encryption, and cloud services (e.g.,   
   Google Drive).   
      
   TimeShift    
   Creates system snapshots (like Windows System Restore). Ideal for restoring   
   your system after a bad update or change   
      
   GNOME Backups    
   Simple graphical backup utility with scheduled backups and   
   incremental support.   
      
   rsync    
      
   The classic file-sync tool. Efficient and scriptable for custom backups,   
   network backups, and incremental copies.

   Syncs and backs up to cloud storage providers (Google Drive, OneDrive, S3,   
   etc.).
