Provide reasoning about why I'm not (currently) using tools like Restic or Borg #3

I know many people would ask about why I'm currently using a shell script + rclone instead of a more full featured open source solution like Restic or Borg.

Should probably articulate that somehow.

Main point I'd have is it's a matter of priority: first, do you have a backup. Second, do you have 3-2-1 backup to prevent eventualities. Third, is your backup well-automated/tested. Fourth, have you optimized the backup and optimized things like snapshots, diffs, restores?

Well, I've done as much as I need to for my video and the initial README. I mention other tools in the video but don't go too much in depth. I may re-approach it someday once I go more advanced.
