I'm a bit burned out testing these different backup/file sync things. I've used at least unison, restic, rsync, kopia, syncthing and rclone. What is becoming clear to me is that I don't like sync/backup solutions that run constantly in the background, the longer I use those, less sure I become how they work. Also many of those have weird formats, that are not easy to manipulate with standard cli tools. When I set up a new machine I have to figure out how those work, which is surprisingly annoying.
Whereas these CLI tools like tar, rclone and rsync, I setup to run periodically, I have a simple bash script, and I have a pretty good idea of how they work when I reinstall my system.
