Running a Duplicacy container backing up to Google drive for some stuff and Backblaze for mostly all other data. Been using it for a couple years with no issues. The GUI and scheduling is really nice too.

All my backups are in /home/Ryan/Documents. Please don't break my Minecraft server.
- kopia backup to 2nd disk
- kopia backup to B2 cloud
- duplicaty backup to google drive (only most important folder <1GB)
Most of the files are actually nextcloud so I get one more copy of files (not backup) on PC by syncing with nextcloud app
My server uses zfs, which allows me to create regular snapshots with sanoid. This makes it extremly easy to quickly recover individual services or vms without consuming a lot of disk space. In case the server is not recoverable, I still send the incremental snapshots to a pi clone with a large hard drive. If you use the native disk encryption, the snapshot can be sent encrypted without the second server having access to the data.This solution with zfs and sanoid/syncoid has often made my life easier and, in my experience, uses less bandwidth and cpu load.
