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.

I have tested all of these also, and settled on borg + borgmatic. It has been absolutely rock solid. Borgmatic just rounds everything together in such a nice way. The documentation is great.

I'm pushing it all to a Hetzner storage box, as well as a local NAS. Super affordable!

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.
