This is a wide topic. :))

There are lots of backup tools and strategies.
Some are mentioned in
  https://wiki.debian.org/BackupAndRecovery
  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch10.en.html#_backup_and_recovery

I myself make backups on optical media by scdbackup and xorriso.
Other backups of mine go to remote computers by rsync.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
