I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?

rsync over USB via termux but I might try to get Borg workiing on the phone. Also, I chose a phone with an SD card slot so I can back up to that at some point.

Yeah but that's very manual. I'm looking for something that can help me select the folder click backup when eexternal storage is plugged in and that's it.

I see there are several backup apps on F-droid but idk what they do. I think you can connect a launch button to a termux script that does the backup. That seems simplest to me, ymmv.
