Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
The main disadvantage with pure Restic is that you usually have to end up writing your own shell scripts for some configuration management because Restic itself has none of that.
Fortunately there is https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile to solve that problem.

Duplicity
I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.
For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]
I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.

Alternative to Backblaze that does encryption AND incremental backups?
You mean encrypted snapshots of files and not snapshots of encrypted files right? because the later is not really possible. You can do incremental backups with restic and backblaze b2 though. Just setup an automated profile using resticprofile.

Help me choose between borg, restic and rclone
While we're talking restic tools, have you also tried restic-profile?

I am looking for open-source backup application alternatives
There's also restic profile. I've been using autorestic but coming from borgmatic it feels much less solid.

Duplicati: Free backup software to store encrypted backups online
There’s also resticprofile which takes care of scheduling (with launchd on macOS) and maintenance tasks for restic. I especially enjoy that resticprofile can create a prom file for the backup status that I can just scoop up to my monitoring.

Why should I switch from Restic to Borg?
Restic has a very good command line tool: resticprofile which lets you write backup profiles in an easy config file, automates the scheduling of each task along with an automatic locking system (to ensure prune never happens during backups, etc), and integration with Zabbix for monitoring the status of the backups (i.e. being alerted when backups fail). Restoring files and searching for files is done via the CLI.

Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while
Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).
I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).
So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

KBackup vs rsync?
For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

Suggestions for Incremental Backup Software
Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.

BorgBackup 1.2.4 released
For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.

Server lost power, world not loading correctly
I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.

Any advice/best practices for how to backup emails of Linux-based mail server
To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.
