a console has better optimisation for lower price.
Something else to have in mind, some times they’re like a printer, the device is relatively cheap but you have to buy other stuff to actually have it working.
In PC you can find several places to buy and download games (even when it feels like only one or two exist), in console you only have the manufacturer.
In PC as long as you have internet you can play multiplayer, in console you have to subscribe to their online services.
I use rclone and duplicati depending on the needs of the backup.
For long term I use duplicati, it has a GUI and you can upload it to several places (mines are spread between e2 and drive).
You configure the backend, password for encryption, schedule, and version retention.
rclone, with the crypt submodule, you use it to mount your backups as am external drive, so you need to manually handle the actual copy of the data into it, plus versioning and retention.
