Yeah it's old.
I feel this slightly derogative remark does not apply to actively developed software literally hundreds of other softwares rely on.
The fact that it's been around the block several times is only a plus here.
Choose better adjectives, like, idk, mature, venerable etc.
Yeah it's slow.
Is it? Compared to what? Honest q, I have no idea. It runs in the background.
For baclup purposes I would recommend Borg backup for the tech savvy or Duplicati for the basic user, as they are vastly superior (keeping multiple copies of your files, smart retention, deduplication). Backup gets smaller than source more often than not, even if you have a year's worth of historical versions. That said, rsync is great for what it is.
learn restic, too ;)
