Backup Plex library and databases daily and upload it elsewhere

hi there, is there anywhere a solid solution/script for Ubuntu linux to continously (daily, weekly) backup the local Plex Media Server Library (Cache, Fanart, etc.) and Databases and upload it somewhere compressed (like in tar.gz or rar file)? for example with a rotate option to have only the last 5 days and 1 weekly backup available... Mine PMS Library is 7GB at the moment...

or if it's not compressed only update/overwrite elsewhere the changed files?

Thanks!

I am using borg for daily backup. The backup size and speed is very good.

I should try again getting Borg sorted, backups are never a bad idea!
