I've been using dump for backing up my Linux systems since I started many years ago. I continued using it when I started with Raspberry Pi as I already had scripts to back up to a central server.The old "dump" package is a good choice for extX FS. The backup command (dump) allow local or remote backup, compressed or no, incremental,...
It is available as a standard package in RaspiOS, Debian,...:
Originally (before the Pi) I used to back up to tape. That took a long time, even with a tape autoloader (8 tapes, ~70GB each, one drive, lots of noise).
