Hi everyone,
I have linux mint with two 8 TB drives
one for my /home
two everything else
I would like to back up my home folder to the other drive
I would like to create a /backup folder and copy everything there.
Is there a better way? Where would I back up items?
Thank You,
everyone

Wow you have tons of space... 
Here's what I recommend.
Back Folder Group A (Drive A) ===> Folder Group A (Drive B)... you can do this for multiple USB Drives
Back Folder Group A (Drive A) ===> Remote Cloud Drive for Drive A ... I always do this because you really need to have your materials physically 'somewhere else' in case something happens to your primary location.
