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/

Backup programs question

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.

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Best configuration for bare hypervisor distro FOR DESKTOP VMs
Are you sure you need a full on virtual machine, rather than a system snapshotting tool like Snapper or Timeshift?

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
I would highly advise installing timeshift for making backups. There have been times where I thought I was doing something benign and I basically screwed something up major. Using timeshift you can easily revert back and it saves you from so much pain
- Cloned my Drive to a larger Driver But can't use the Space
- rsnapshot-like rotation backup tool to integrate in my scripts
-
Properly backing up a running Linux system
Can't say much about your tar command, but if you did not checked it out already, take a look at Timeshift for system snapshots and rollback of changes. afaik you can just restore a snapshot on a blank drive. as far i see you can backup and restore EFI / boot as well. but never used it myself so can't say much about it.

What are you doing for your backups?
I use backintime to back up files in my home directory, and use Timeshift for backing up system settings (really useful if you're messing around with your grub and fuck something up, speaking from experience).

Some discoveries from investigating the SteamOS recovery image
For casual users, not really any benefit to using btrfs unless you want to use this https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift (and even then you don't need it, it just helps)
- Windows 11 and its forced "telemetry" made me switch to Linux. And I have to say - it's great. So why the hell isn't more people switching? And what's your fav distro?
What are some alternatives?

snapper - Manage filesystem snapshots and allow undo of system modifications
Duplicati - Store securely encrypted backups in the cloud!
BorgBackup - Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.
Backuppc - BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up to a server's disk.
Rsnapshot - a tool for backing up your data using rsync (if you want to get help, use https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rsnapshot-discuss)
Bareos - Bareos is a cross-network Open Source backup solution (licensed under AGPLv3) which preserves, archives, and recovers data from all major operating systems.
