What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?
Instead of archiving collections of images in tar or zip files, img2pdf losslessly packs images into PDF files. This makes them really, really easy to browse without unpacking or archive-mounting them.

The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
archivemount can mount into the filesystem any archive format that libarchive supports, which is several: zip, rar, tar, cpio, ISO9660, 7-Zip, ar, lha/lzh, Microsoft CAB, mtree, pax, shar, WARC, xar.

Container for archiving many small files
For bundling, my main constraint is that archivemount or gio mount archive:// can seek within the archive: so tar and zip are fine, but tar.gz is not. Squashfs also works well.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

What do you use for VPS backup? Would improved borg setup - pull mode - be enough? Or, do you use something else?
Currently, I'm auto-backing it up with borg (push mode) through wireguard tunnel to NAS behind ISP's CGNAT. The borg takes care of deduplication in SQL file, so incremental update (even in append-only mode) is very small for PostgreSQL dump.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?
