BackInTime is an excellent alternative to TimeMachine! Searching old backups is literally just browsing directories. I've used it for years until Ubuntu started nagging to use the included backup utility. Once you make the first snapshot, BackInTime is much faster that the recommended backup. Where the native backup shines is encryption and file splitting: you could backup to a cloud drive and not worry about strangers looking at or extracting metadata from your personal files.
