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)
linux-timemachine because its basically just rsync+hardlinks. super simple to use, just input-dir output-dir, but also you can choose all the rsync options like excluding folders. On the output side you get a new folder with date for each successive backup, and its all incremental and thanks to the hardlinks you can delete any of the backups without killing any data that is in the others.
btrbk for me no doubt. It's super lightweight, comprehensive and reliable.
I use [rsnapshot](https://rsnapshot.org/) for backups. rsnapshot is fast because rsync helps it to transfers only diffs (after the initial copy). It is also storage efficient as it automatically deduplicates between backups with the (EXT3/EXT4) file system build in functionality of hard links.
