After suffering a few times of external hard disk failure ( it seems that if a disk is a remote hard disk there is a higher chance for it to develop bad sectors), I am now thinking about the backup.
What is the most frictionless solution for backing up large files that are located in an external disk?

Rsync is nice locally, because it'll only copy the parts of the file that have changed. Schedule it to run automatically to sync your data to the drive (but remember to test recovery every now and then).
