I use Resilio Sync. I have a NAS that is running Resilio, but a computer that you never turn off could also work. All my computers and even family members have folders being synced to my NAS using Resilio. Then my NAS backs up those folders and files to BackBlaze every night.
It makes it nice because I can still access all my files using the selective sync feature and if I am moving between computers, I can drop anything in those specific folders and have access to them on any computer running Resilio. As well as be confident that it will be backed up and encrypted.
I purchased a 2015 Subaru WRX and it is a huge upgrade from a 1996 Dodge Neon when it comes to using a manual. It isn't jerky when you shift and has features to keep you from rolling back on a hill when you press in the clutch.
I learned to drive on a standard, and I feel like I have much more control over the car with a standard transmission.
