What is a proper way to create periodical backups? Yes, I can do it via interface, but I want to automate it. As I noticed, backup is just a tar of /storage/.{ssh,kodi,config,cache}. Am I wrong about that?

Nope. You could write your own backup script, and have it executed every so often via a crontab entry.
Of course, the external location must be available when the script creates a new backup file.

Create and run a backup script via cron that captures any directories you need, and then scp the backup to a remote server so the files are stored in an off-box location.
