• Duplicity

  You can add that to a cron job. Alternatively, I think the Vorta GUI also has a way to easily schedule it[1]. I'll add that one thing I like to do once in a blue-moon is to spin-up a VM and try to recover a few random files.

• Borgbase backups have been unavailable for 3 days – recovery is at 26%

  I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container.
