Home backup solution?
UrBackup https://www.urbackup.org/ is the one that I use for years

Smartli Backup - Secure and Easy Data Backup Solution
If anyone came here looking for good quality, open source and free backup software I recommend UrBackup and Kopia.
-
Kopia – incremental backups, encryption, compression, data deduplication
Kopia does not 'image' your whole machine.
A real shame imaging is the time saving component if a system is not recoverable. People want to get their systems up and running as fast as possible.
A combination of imaging and file back up is the best way to do that. For now I'll stick with http://www.urbackup.org/

How do I copy data from one HDD to another using Linux Mint?
urBackup - best if backing up multiple machines and wanting a centralized tool *BorgBackup - best all-around tried-and-true backup solutions but has no native windows client.

Just finished migrating my old tower servers to a Kubernetes cluster on my new rack!
For backups I use UrBackup, and with the UrBackup Client container, I can back up each application's persistent volumes. I run it in Docker for now, and store backups on a BTRFS Zvol in my ZFS array. Though technically it's not totally safe to backup databases this way, I have not run into many issues going this. Restoring or migrating is as simple as spinning up my helm chart on the new server (with only the client and its Persistent Volume Claims active), hitting restore, and then upgrading the deployment with the actual databases and services.
The top server has 3x12TB HDD's in a ZFS array. I use this with a Docker instance (in case the cluster fails) of UrBackup as my backup solution. Each one of my Kubernetes deployments backs up to the server and I can easily restore them with a click of a button.

Accomplishing What I Want With What I Have
as in just a copy of your files? This I would barely consider a backup, more of just a mirror from a point in time. What're you missing by doing this? versions of files, deduplication, and encryption (last one being very important for the best kind of backups, which should be off-site). Just because it's not files doesn't mean it's proprietary. Proprietary would mean secret and undocumented. There are many great options. Borg is my favorite but Kopia is probably better if you use windows, urbackup is an option if you want centralized management of backups and rdiff-backup is if you want something kinda what you have currently but adding versioning but lacks deduplication and encryption.

Advice for Automated Copying of my Off Grid 6TB Media Hoard :)
That makes more sense - you could probably squeeze more reliability out of your current setup by incorporating incremental backups; most backup software should be fine running locally and backing up to an external drive on demand. Urbackup is a solid open source option, but there are tons of choices in the backup space.

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
What are some alternatives?
