I have been involved with backups (own, work, as consultant) for quite a long time and currently use Restic for my backups. Interested on learning more about different options.

Besides Restic I have used Bacula, Kopia and Hashbackup; likely others that I can't recall.

So far, mostly happy with Restic, but wanting to explore options just to know what different packages offer.

Found these two useful lists Awesome backup by oz123

Restic site list of other backups - this one is really extensive, but has not had any updates in years and they don't see to be merging PRs for it.

Interested on hearing what others are using and if there is any community or forum that is more active with regards to backups.

Mainly that the configuration is (mostly) in a single well-commented file, and good online docs. I don’t have much experience with backup systems and it looked like Borgmatic made it easy and had some useful features like the healthchecks integration (I already use healthchecks elsewhere). And since Borg dedupes backups, I can run it on a pretty aggressive schedule while keeping my BorgBase bill pretty affordable.
