Duplicity

Other popular choices include borg, duplicity, and duplicati. After evaluating these and others mentioned in the comments, I ended up using borg with borgmatic to define homelab backups with yaml files that are version controlled in gitea and deployed using ansible. I also use duplicity to back up my sister in laws storefront website to backblaze. I've been quite happy with both. https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ http://duplicity.gitlab.io/ https://docs.duplicati.com/en/latest/.

Rsnapshot

In the 90's I remember using various backup tools that had their own custom format. I decided that I wanted my backup to be just wanted files on a normal filesystem without being stored in some kind of special format. I realize that this means compression and deduplication is harder but those are tradeoffs that I can accept. I've been using rsnapshot (or it's predecessor script) for 20 years now. It's a wrapper around rsync that gives you snapshots that save space by using hard links. I can compare versions with diff. I can restore files with cp -a https://rsnapshot.org/.

borgmatic

Same, borgmatic has been running flawlessly for a long time, it’s great. Also backing up to a Hetzner storagebox, so it’s quite cheap too. https://torsion.org/borgmatic/.
