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?

Not sure about other options but Backrest has worked wonderfully for me since day 1. Basically just a GUI for Restic. My only complaints are that jobs can't be assigned to multiple repos and you can't edit a job's name or repo once created. Aside from those quirks, it works fine - I have daily, weekly, monthly, and manual jobs set up across both servers and my desktop, basically just set it and forget it.

    It's a GUI and a bit more than that. Restic's biggest pain point is that periodic runs have to be set up manually. Backrest does that for you.

    Although I'm using resticprofile, just because it also works(and has a nice web hook support) but I also use backrest and I highly recommend it.

    Highly highly recommend Backrest!

    restic is great but I’m not the best at scripts and JSON and crontab and whatever

    Backrest puts the amazing restic right up front with a gui. Add in healthchecks.io webhooks (literally copy and paste setup) and it’s my go-to backup solution hands-down
