BACKUPPC error (Non-zero exit status from smbclient)
This is a bug in smbclient that leads to corrupted archives being created. There's a Github issue about it. Newer versions of smbclient have a fix. I posted a workaround with a wrapper in the issue if upgrading smbclient is not possible. You could try it out: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/404

I'm not a big github user and need a quick hand with a pull . . . .
Go to the Code tab. Click on the green "Code" button. Download as Zip. Or, if you have git installed, consider using git pull https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc instead.

Why We Switched from Python to Go
Kind of, though the whole Raku thing made everything a tad wonky.
Some of the nicer Perl software that I use currently is BackupPPC, which has been pretty solid despite the slightly subpar UI: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc
And another interesting piece that I can think of was RemoteBox, which was pretty niche but still worked nicely: https://remotebox.knobgoblin.org.uk/?page=about
From the more popular packages, one should also mention exiftool, which was written in Perl: https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool
Probably also a lot of other pieces of software, though it doesn't seem like there's much of a large/active community around Perl, for example, have a look at: https://github.com/trending/perl?since=monthly and then compare it to something like: https://github.com/trending/go?since=monthly

I’ve got some idea that someone is getting into my personal info….
Amanada Backup Utility is a real and valid thing, but if you yourself and nobody you know installed it, then someone on your network has a backup utility running, and you really should find out who and why.

Backing up a 30TB dataset on to multiple 8TB disks?
A customer I used to work with used http://www.amanda.org/ and used folders instead of tapes. I would think you could do the same on a system and automount disks. It was a PITA, but worked.
