There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

Every time I see this pop up on HN, I upvote. I've been using rclone for years for my main backup [1] (now over 18 TB) from my home NAS to Amazon S3 Glacier-backed Deep Archive, and it is by far the easiest backup setup I've ever had (and cheap—like $16/month).

There is a built in web GUI (experimental),band I also found the RcloneBrowser project that looks helpful when a GUI is handy.

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.
Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

- 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..).

> It's replaced sshfs for some cases.
I'd been using sshfs for some years until I learned that rclone can mount remotes to the file system, and I've been using that happily since then.

> at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues

i tried using it to encrypt my cloud backups, and it works great for desktop, even if it requires running commands.
my gripe with it is to be able to use and sync from my smartphone. at least on ios, there is no robust tool that allows it afaik. there is cryptcloudviewer (https://github.com/lithium0003/ccViewer) which has not been updated since 2020.
appreciate any suggestions or more details of your workflow for these scenarios.
