I'm planning to set up proper backups for my server, but I'm not sure which software to use. I've looked for solutions with encryption, compressed, incremental backups. These seem to be the best options:

Does anyone have experience with these, and if so, what was your experience?

EDIT 2023-12-28:

It seems most people are using Restic of which about half mention using a wrapper such as resticprofiles, creatic and autorestic.

I started out with borg. Basically had no problems with it. Then i moved to Restic. For the past few years i am using it, i never experienced any issue with it. Can only recommend Restic.

Going to second the restic recommendation. I'm using it for most of my backup needs and find it easy, fast, and reliable.

What backend do you use for restic?

I backup to an external drive and then rclone copy that up to backblaze B2

Restic connects via SSH to my Backup Storage.
