Duplicity
I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.
For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]
I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.

Advice request on the best approach to backup with restic
I have looked up and found restic to be a good choice for the many advantages it provides (reduplication, incremental copies, encryption, free, ...). I looked also at the many projects built on it to make it easier to configure (resticker, autorestic). I already made a simple test locally for my MainPC (with docker swarm) and it seems to be fine.

What backup plan do I use?
You should consider setting up something like restic (maybe w/ autorestic) or borg and getting proper incremental backups.

duplicati has crossed me for the last time; looking for other recovery options to back up my system and docker containers (databases + configs)
I’m also using Autorestic to configure Restic via a YAML file, and I recently wrote an Ansible role to do this across multiple devices 🙂 if interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-autorestic

Which service to backup your important files ?
There's also [autorestic][https://github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic), it's worth checking.

Backup Size for 5TB HDD?
The majority of my storage will be large media, documents, and the like that won't update much and I plan to do the backup with autorestic so I'll only be backing up the file changes (which won't be many/frequent).

Restic: Backups Done Right
Autorestic wraps restic in YAML config files, and for that I am very grateful.

Suggestions for automatic self-hosted database backups?
Maybe autorestic or rclone.

Just found what appears to be a great backup program, Kopia.
There’s also a wrapper for restic to make management easier using yaml config (autorestic) and a well-regarded docker image (resticker)

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
In past threads, people have mentioned enjoying my Tarsnap (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap) code. I personally think that the spiped (https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped) code is even better.

I love the idea of tarsnap but a stable release hasn't been released since 2017. Is there a modern alternative, or is tarsnap actually still usable and secure?
I prefer Vorta myself ( https://github.com/borgbase/vorta ) as it also has incremental and encrypted backups, as well as being a fraction of the price, but tarsnap seems to still be in very-slow development: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap , so I'd say from a quick look it's still trustworthy.

What's your backup strategy?
Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.
