Look at Duplicacy. It's memory usage is reasonable for me and dev is lowering it. Also faster than Restic and fully incremental.

I hope it gets to the point not to consume several GB soon enough. Also the pricing got too greedy and I'm not sure if I want to pay that.
It used to be per user but now it's per machine and it's even asking you to pay $50/year per machine even for cheap instances that are $60/year and when you have 20 small machines to look after, the pricing looks a bit too unfair.
I figured borg is stable and does the job but others, including restic have problems like memory usage concerns and I'm just a single person shop and don't have any huge assets to backup and already seeing restic/duplicacy choke consuming GBs of memory.
What are the tools that are performant and stable?
I'd like to at least use another implementation besides borg in case a bug corrupts the data.
Encryption, retention policies, incremental backup without periodical full backup and acceptable performance (that people don't fill GitHub issues with performance problems) are requirements and deduplication is a plus.
