resticker VS BorgBackup

I have been using https://github.com/djmaze/resticker but haven't tested a restore scenario yet.

I have looked up and found restic to be a good choice for the many advantages it provides (reduplication, incremental copies, encryption, free, ...). I looked also at the many projects built on it to make it easier to configure (resticker, autorestic). I already made a simple test locally for my MainPC (with docker swarm) and it seems to be fine.

it's a cli tool so you can either install it on your host, make your own scripts and automate them with cron, or you can use this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/mazzolino/restic/

You mean something like this?: https://github.com/djmaze/resticker/

There’s also a wrapper for restic to make management easier using yaml config (autorestic) and a well-regarded docker image (resticker)

You can check it out pretty easily; I use this docker container (available on Docker Hub) since it's documented and pretty easy, and backblaze will let you set up a free account up to 10gb.

Personally I use restic to backup Docker volumes and Duplicati for my desktop backups.

Restic to Backblaze. Affordable, incremental, encrypted, and behind-the-scenes. No web UI, per se, but I do it in a resticker container and it just works.

i use - and recommend - "borgbackup": for example with the "vorta" graphical frontend

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.

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.

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?

You could use borgbackup.
