I use Duplicati and backup server to both another PC and the cloud. Unlike a lot of data hoarders I take a pretty minimalist approach to only backing up core (mostly docker) configs and OS installation.
I have media lists but to me all that content is ephemeral and easily re-acquired so I don't include it.
Duplicati is great in many ways but it's still considered as being in beta by it's developers. I would not trust it if the data you back up is extremely important to you.
