And see this:
rsync is a fast and versatile command-line utility for synchronizing files 
and directories between two locations over a remote shell, or from/to a 
remote Rsync daemon. It provides fast incremental file transfer by 
transferring only the differences between the source and the destination.

Rsync can be used for mirroring data, incremental backups, copying files 
between systems, and as a replacement for scp , sftp, and cp 
commands.https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-rsync-for-local-and-remote-data-transfer-and-synchronization/

I just do simple backups - not incrementals.
