For my ancient (13 yrs old) Data HDD in my AD2010 desktop PC I have made
a copy of all its directories and files to an external USB connected HDD
The internal Data HDD has an effective capacity of 1.36 TB whereas the
external HDD's capacity is 915 MB.

The desktop PC runs Linux Mint 21.1

I wish to copy incremental changes (additions and deletions) of the
internal Data HDD ,which currently has approx 90 GB on-board ,to the
external HDD on a monthly basis.

What would be a reliable /safe method to achieve this .

TIA for your advice

Frank in County Wicklow -Ireland

rsync
Here is an example of my backup:
----------------------------------------------------
lightyellow="\e[93m";white="\e[97m"
SRCE="/media/alan/Linux/"
DEST="/media/alan/Linux_BAK/"
echo "${lightyellow}Copy from $SRCE to $DEST${white}
"
rsync -av --delete-before --exclude='.Trash-1000' --exclude='lost+found' \
--exclude='sync_list2.txt' --exclude='sync_list.txt' "${SRCE}" "${DEST}" | tee sync_list.txt
echo "See sync_list.txt for changes
"
sleep 3
SRCE="/media/alan/Linux/All-Wallpapers/"
DEST="/media/alan/Scraps/All-Wallpapers-for-Windows-Access"
echo "${lightyellow}Copy from $SRCE to $DEST${white}
"
rsync -av --delete-before --exclude='sync_list2.txt' \
--exclude='sync_list.txt' "${SRCE}" "${DEST}" | tee sync_list2.txt
echo "See sync_list2.txt for changes

Hit return"
read a
---------------------------------------------------------
The /media/alan/Linux and Linux_BAK are mounted drives so I exclude .Trash-1000 and lost+found
On the 2nd rsync, I'm doing folders so no need for Trash-1000

My rsync will copy changes to the DEST and delete any files from DEST that were deleted on SRCE. Basically a mirror copy.
