But now I am considering setting up a cron job to do backups to the 1TB

1TB NVMe for / and /home, and each partition is only about 30% used, so I
no longer need the SSD for storage.
Added thought: This does not need to be a clone of the partitions with dd
or such. I just want to be able to recover a single file or folder that I
shouldn't have deleted.
Suggestions welcome!
John,
There are many available backup options. For a long time I've used dirvish
which uses rsync to make incremental backups. The initial setup can take a
bit of time but once that's done it just does its thing and you don't need
to pay any attention to it.
rsnapshot does something similar:
