Does anyone use zbackup to compress your backups?
I've been doing semi-regular backups with mintbackup, but it's gotten to the point where my backups are filling up the drive even when I gzip them individually. Because these backups contain a bunch of the same files over and over again, I looked for a way to de-duplicate the backups and I landed on zbackup. It looks like it does what I want and my tests are promising, but I wanted to know if there were any caveats or if there are any better solutions out there.

How do you guys backup your linux machines to a NAS?
I use zbackup which is quite similar in concept to Borg (doesn't offer mountable images tho) with cron jobs such as the bash script below which backs up all the root folders except for selected things like /dev

Any good software to manage automatic hard drive backups?
I use zbackup ("globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found in rsync") from a cron job which saves more space than just using links (ie it can recognise moved files, renamed files, and files that are only partially edited).

Brand new to PC building. Did I do OK for a gaming/workstation?
If you just need them for backup, I'd just get regular HDDs, and even better, put them outside of the PC into a separate system, even a raspberry pi 4 with USB HDDs would do. I use burp backup at home https://github.com/grke/burp (I run the server on a separate Linux PC with 2 HDDs in mirror), it's pretty simple to set up, if you're familiar with Linux and editing config files.
