Local and remote backups
I use backupninja to coordinate my Linux backups - it's pretty easy to use, has a nice menu-driven TUI system for adding new periodic backups, allows you to add any custom backup script you like, and ensures you get nice log messages and email alerts about failed backups. However: there doesn't seem to have been any activity on the repo for it for the last 12 months, so I've made a friendly fork to fix some of the recent bugs people have spotted, here.

Up-to-date .deb files for Ubuntu/Debian?
I couldn't spot any PPAs for restic - have I missed them, or has no-one bothered to create one? (As a temporary fix, I've used alien to cobble together a usable .deb file, here.)

Local and remote backups
I'd note that Ubuntu's versions of software often lag terribly behind the originals, so I often make quick-and-dirty .deb files of more up-to-date versions: for instance, https://github.com/phlummox-dev/restic-deb has an up-to-date version of restic which interoperates well with rclone (whereas the stock version in Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't).
