Syncing files on a schedule will not protect against ransomeware unless it also maintains a history. I highly recommend duplicacy (CLI) for backups with history and de-duplication. It is not the simplest tools to use, but it is very powerful.

We replaced our rsync / rdiff-backup backups with duplicacy.
