DwarFS – The Deduplicating Warp-Speed Advanced Read-Only File System
I think Kopia would be great for your use case
It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much!

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.

Encrypted Backup Shootout
I created nFreezer ("encrypted freezer") for this purpose at the end of 2020: https://github.com/josephernest/nfreezer.
Main features:
* encrypted at rest locally (the data is never decrypted on the remote server)
* handles file renames / moves (no data is re-sent, save GB of transfer!)
* single Python file of ~ 250 lines of code. It is easy to read the code and decide if you like/trust it or not
