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?

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
I setup a script to backup my lvm volumes with kopia. About to purchase some cloud storage to send it off site. Been running for a while de duplication working great. Encryption working as far as I can tell. The sync to other repo option was the main seller for me.
I use restic with a local external drive that is then synced to backblaze b2 via rclone.

I’ve been using Kopia for all my backups for a couple years, both backing up my desktop and containers. It’s been very reliable, and it has nice features like being able to mount a backup.
IMHO, Duplicacy is better than all of them at all those things - multi-machine, cross-platform, zstd compression, encryption, incrementals, de-duplication.
The subscription model is a wee bit off putting. I employ old hardware and don’t wish to be frog marched into an update/grade that could break that.
Have seen it happen before, been in IT too fucking long not to.
Note that while they’re disingenuously proclaiming themselves to be a “free” tool, the license is actually an unfree proprietary custom license.
