Have been using Borg for many years now, it saved me several times already when I accidentally deleted stuff I realized I still needed later on. What's great is that you can just mount your backup repository as a FUSE filesystem, Borg then gives you a directory structure containing all your backups over time. Personally I use dates to name my backups, e.g. 2022-10-11, so when I need to restore something from a specific date I just go to the appropriate folder and extract it.

Another nice thing with fuse is that I can let my users (devs) mount the backups with Borg, so that they can restore specific files that they need without asking me. And the mount can restrict which directories to expose, so they only see the files they need. (I wrote a small wrapper which can be run with sudo)
