Borg (specifically Borg Matic) has been working very well for me. I run it on my main server and then on my Nas I have a Borg server docker container as the repository location.
I also have another repository location my on friends Nas. Super easy to setup multiple targets for the same data.
I will probably also setup a Borg base account for yet another backup.
What I liked a lot here was how easy it is to make automatic backups, retention policy and multiple backup locations .
Open source was a requirement so you can never get locked out of your data. Self hosted. Finally the ability to mount the backup as a volume / drive. So if I want a specific file, I mount that snapshot and just copy that one file over.
