I backup my files via rsync then have some essentially docker containers backed up and running in case the first one goes down :)

A copy of data isn’t really a backup, that’s also why RAID isn’t a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.
You do realize that what borg and restic do is make copies of your data, right?
In such a way that it checks the integrity of the files. Which a normal copy paste does not do. Rsync does this as well bdw.
None of those programs verifies integrity. Borg deduplicates, and optionally encrypts data. Restic is a front end for rsync, which only offers incremental back up. Meaning, restic/rsync compares your source and destination directories, and if the data are identical it does nothing, but if there are any changes it will upload only that changed data. None of the apps care what the data are, you can backup gibberish and they will happily put it another place for you.
