Reconfiguring my backups

I've been sort of half-assing my Linux backups for a while now. I finally decided to fix them. My backups were a combination of rsync to a Hetzner Storage Box and Pika backups to an external drive. Each setup did different things, and there was no documentation. Testing the backups was a random and incomplete process that was too much work so I never did it.
