Started my self-hosting journey a couple of year ago with a Raspberry Pi, OpenMediaVault and a couple of Docker containers. This week i finally managed to move my Adguard Home container and my DNS setup over to my NAS, which was the final thing that kept the Pi running. I also synched all the data to the NAS.
The next step I am trying to figure out is a decent backup setup. Read about Borg, Restic and Kopia, but haven’t decided on one of them yet. What are you guys using?
I used to use Kopia to backup to a Backblaze B2 bucket, but I’ve moved to Restic as I can backup over ssh to a NAS at a family member’s home and to a Hetzner storage box.
Purely from reading about the different tools Restic is also my favourite at the moment. I mainly want to use it so my client devices can do backups on my NAS and maybe at some later stage backup my NAS to a NAS at a family members home just like you do.

I settled on Kopia myself but I always seem to see the others mentioned
Use the one that makes most sense to you for restores.
Backup a folder, then restore it somewhere else… if any of the applications causes you problems for your setup, move on.
Good point. I was going to set 1-2 of them up and find out what suits my needs.
Just looking at my NAS now…
