Restic: Backups Done Right
In the 90's I remember using various backup tools that had their own custom format. I decided that I wanted my backup to be just wanted files on a normal filesystem without being stored in some kind of special format. I realize that this means compression and deduplication is harder but those are tradeoffs that I can accept.
I've been using rsnapshot (or it's predecessor script) for 20 years now. It's a wrapper around rsync that gives you snapshots that save space by using hard links. I can compare versions with diff. I can restore files with cp -a

Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
I'm using rsnapshot. It's based on rsync. It's fully automated and I make daily and monthly backups backup to my NAS. The biggest benefit of rsnapshot is that it uses hardlinks. So only changed files are backed up. It doesn't have a GUI though, you have to set a configuration file.

The description sounds like it does largely the same job as rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/). What does yours do differently from rsnapshot?
- Redundancy and bit-rot protection on a single drive
- The fastest rm command and one of the fastest cp commands
