Have had a look at both Borg and Restic, but even Restic which is supposed to be faster iirc, was extremely slow on my computer.

Been much more happy with my tries with https://kopia.io which also includes an optional cross-platform GUI, in addition to the CLI.

I tried all these in my environment, about 2 years ago and kopia wins for me too. Is there any advantage of borg over kopia since then?

Reliability. Borg has been around for a long time, and is far more mature.

I wouldn’t trust my backups to Kopia (unless for experimentation).

Wow, Kopia looks pretty interesting. I first thought that it's a fork of Restic, but it appears to be independent. It has all the features that are key to me: encrypted, deduplicated, works on object storage, can mount the backup as a filesystem.

On one hand, on may think that three programs with very similar approach and features is a waste of resource. On the other hand, this is what refinement of the idea looks like: each project improves over previous attempts.
