Lots of people have mentioned rsynx, restic, borgbackup, and others, but which would be best for backing up nextcloud, immich, and radicale? Do all of them have a method of automatically backing up every X days/weeks? Why use one over the other, what are the differences?

I use borg with borgmatic. Heck, if you're using Nextcloud AIO, borg is built in. It uses rsync, and takes incremental, deduplicated backups. I like it because it's mostly just setting up ssh and a config file.

More specifically I use Nextcloud's built in borg and these two containers:

Borgmatic

Borgserver

Edit: I forgot that for my personal devices I use PikaBackup, which also uses Borg.

https://borgwarehouse.com/

this is also nice instead of borgserver. Then you can add new clients via web GUI.

Well, this looks really cool. Thanks

Vorta is an awesome front end to Borg for machines with a gui.

This along with borg warehouse is the GOAT setup. Many others exist of course.

Borgbase for offsite backup as well. Has been rock solid and I test download files from there every now and again with no issues. Never really did a full restore since its my 3rd line backup
