Python programmer here, but I actually prefer Restic [0]. While more or less the same experience, the huge selling point to me is that the backup program is a single executable that can be easily stored alongside the backups. I do not want any dependency/environment issues to assert themselves when restoration is required (which is most likely on a virgin, unconfigured system).

You can also take a look at Kopia (https://kopia.io/).

I've been using Borg, Restic and Kopia for a long time and Kopia is my personal favorite - very fast, very efficient, runs in the background automatically without having to schedule a CRON or anything like that.

Only downside is that the backups are made of a HUGE number of files, so when synchronizing it can sometimes take a bit of time to check the ~5k files.

Highly recommend Kopia that has a nice UI and can work with rclone (so any cloud back end)

I’ve been using Kopia, I recommend it.
