It's pretty easy to figure out, and has lots of options. I choose which directories to backup, and it's smart about updating just the files that have changed or are new. (I think it's a different use case from what Systembak does.)
File backup is important, I agree. I personally am happy with existing built-in tools when it comes to backing up my document files to external hard drive (as opposed to creating a restore point for system files with Systemback, which I don't bother too much with).
So for my documents, I rotate between
a) doing a full external backup by copying my entire home directory drag-and-drop into my external hard drive.
and
b) using the rsync command to update just the files in the backup folder that have changed or are new.
Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
