Looking for guidance designing a multi-site backup (Veeam B&R?)
You could have a look at UrBackup. Its a client/server backup solution. Also you could rsync the local backup server too the remote lokation.

I would also recommend UrBackup. In my experience it's extremely reliable. https://github.com/uroni/urbackup_backend

Any alternatives to Macrium Reflect?
Veeam gets most of the hype these days, but if you don't need a Mac client, UrBackup is a solid option. Full & incremental file and image backups for one machine or your whole network, scheduling, rolling copies, etc.

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/

BACKUPPC error (Non-zero exit status from smbclient)
This is a bug in smbclient that leads to corrupted archives being created. There's a Github issue about it. Newer versions of smbclient have a fix. I posted a workaround with a wrapper in the issue if upgrading smbclient is not possible. You could try it out: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/404

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
