Looking for recommendations for backing up laptops to my Unraid NAS. I'm running Immich for photos, and want something for incremental backup of the laptops (Win 11 and Linux). What do you guys like?

I use Kopia to do encrypted incremental backups of my user directory.

fwiw, I used Kopia for around a year, but eventually the backup got corrupted with a BLOB not found error and there was no way to fix it.

similar to this issue, except that nothing would fix or improve the situation https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1087

and because it seemed to be an issue with the repo (not just with a snapshot), the remote copy was also borked. I couldn't even list the snapshots.

I've since migrated to Rustic (though Restic might be more reliable today).

This seems to be the a similar issue too, but I was nowhere near the scale of this user. There are other similar reports that may or may not be linked to the same root cause, so it's hard to say how rare this problem is.

Never heard of of Kopia. Will check it out.
