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?

disc space is not freeing
You could use borgbackup.

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
