[Software] RClone or rsync or ssh?

$

I have a ProtonDrive "cloud" account. I am trying to make a first copy of my /home to the cloud and thereafter sync objects. For weeks I've been reading what the Internet has to offer on this subject. I've not been able to learn what to do. I have not come to understand whether rclone, rsync or ssh are best. Whether they must be used in combination with each other.

Most of the how-to(s) on the 'net expect the reader to have a better basic understanding of what to do. Below is an example of what I read and cannot understand. That is from the https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync rsync manual.

Code:

 -L, --copy-links            transform symlink into referent file/dir     --copy-unsafe-links     only "unsafe" symlinks are transformed
So, one of the questions for this noob is: do I need to use

Code:

 --copy-unsafe-links
if some word processor document or spreadsheet has links in it? Maybe those links are out-of-date; I know some of mine are? How does this affect the copy. Yes, I apologize I know this is not a good question, I'm brought to a dead halt by my lack of knowledge. Sorry.

Thank you, Debian Community.
