I Backup
I've been happy with: https://kopia.io/
Fairly easy to configure, does snapshots to S3 and has a icon in my tray I can watch :)

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
I noticed this project while comparing restic/borg and am thinking about trying it.
Initially I thought this was a corporate project and was looking for the monetization model, but then I found https://github.com/kopia/kopia/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md
I feel like the project might benefit from making their governance model more prominent on the website.
Kopia also means a copy in Polish and the author is Polish. The first paragraph in the software's Github page also confirms the Polish origin of the name: https://github.com/kopia/kopia/
Tangentially, as far as OSS names of Polish go, kopia is pretty tame. A popular UI deduplicating app is called czkawka (hiccup). Now that choice is just mean towards non-Polish speakers. :)
Kopia is great, though it's worth noting for folks on Linux: non-UTF-8 paths aren't stored correctly [1] and xattrs aren't stored [2]. While most folks probably won't care about the former, the latter can could cause issues (eg. losing SELinux labels makes it difficult to restore a backup of the root filesystem on distros that use SELinux).

Borgbase backups have been unavailable for 3 days – recovery is at 26%
I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container. Vorta (and Borg) seemed to work fine, until I wanted to restore an archive and I noticed that my recent snapshots were completely empty. Probably because of a misconfiguration on my end though. But it made me look elsewhere. For me backups should be a fire, test and forget solution.
Recently I made the switch to Kopia [2] which seems to have feature parity with Borg (and Restic [3]). It also has a web UI which is way easier to work with than Vorta. And I can easily view, extract and restore individual files or folders from there. This gave me way more confidence about this solution. The only thing I really miss is that I cannot chose different targets for different paths. For instance, with Borg I was able to backup a partial of my Docker appdata to an external source. And I haven't found a way to do this with Kopia. Besides that I'm pretty happy with this solution and I would recommend it.

Is there a good way to "roll back" a failed attempt at upgrading to Debian 12?
Backups, Backups, Backups.

Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
Kopia, it has an AppImage version that works on openSUSE.

About Scripts for Btrfs Maintenance
Surely this incident highlights the importance of backups, right? 5 TB is even a manageable amount of data.
I also used to run btrfs in btrfs-RAID10 configuration until apparently a flapping SATA link and fsck attempts were able to break the fs completely. Full system backups were great that day. I run https://kopia.io/ nowadays every three hours during day time and I've been quite happy with it.
Nowadays I run bcachefs.. Backups are still handy :).
I suppose the reason why you chose NTFS was to be able to access the data from Windows, at least in case of emergency? Because there are a lot of filesystems that are presumably more mature than NTFS is for Linux.

Apple TV, now with more Tailscale
I would argue that it is exactly in line with Apple's brand identity.
Pretty much everybody agrees that you need to backup your cloud storage as well as your local computer, and Apple even backs up your i-devices to the cloud, and yet, there is no automated way of backing up your iCloud storage.
About a decade ago, Google initiated the Data Transfer Framework[1] that allows you to transfer data from one cloud provider to another, directly from provider to provider instead of downloading it first. It sadly appears to not have gotten enough traction to be of any use.

Kopia vs Duplicacy
Once/If Data Transfer Project takes off, I’m hoping I will be able to schedule cloud to cloud backups without transferring data home first.

Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR
Indeed, common data structures across platforms feels more common than specialized ones, biggest difference seems to mostly sit in the UI/UX layer at this point.
Data Transfer project is also trying to define some common data models that companies can use to ensure they export/import agreed data models, although it's still not very extensive: https://github.com/google/data-transfer-project/tree/master/...

Apple now lets you transfer your iCloud Photos to Google Photos
That's interesting, and it's the first I've heard of the project. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Apple has yet released the adaptors to the open source project [1]. As much as I'm not interested in having Apple copy my photos to Google, I am very interested in scripting my own offline backups without having to make space for Photos.app to store all my photos on my laptop's SSD. Hopefully the adaptors are added to the project soon.
