I use Syncthing to sync 4 Windows pcs. I want to add personal cloud and local backup to my setup. I seek suggestions for good simple backup that I could set to run automatically.

Syncthing doesn’t conflict with any backup software that I’m aware of, so there are **lot** options to choose from.
Unfortunately, “good” and “simple” are often at odds with each other when it comes to backup software that supports both personal cloud and local backup.
And without additional details as to what type of cloud service/platform and local backup devices you’re interested in using, the two that I think are definitely worth considering are [Rclone](https://rclone.org) and [Duplicacy](https://duplicacy.com/). Both have active user forums and a variety of tutorials on various websites and on YouTube.

If you have a lot of data, Backblazes’ unlimited data at $60 a year is a good value vs spinning up your own cloud bucket.

Syncthing has no problem with most of the backup tools and Rclone is the best to does what you need if you like the CLI based tools , Goodsync and Gs Richcopy360 are the best if you like the GUI based tools . All can transfer directly to your destination
