I’m planning to set up proper backups for my server, but I’m not sure which software to use. I’ve looked for solutions with encryption, compressed, incremental backups. These seem to be the best options:

Does anyone have experience with these, and if so, what was your experience?

EDIT 2023-12-28:

It seems most people are using Restic of which about half mention using a wrapper such as resticprofiles, creatic and autorestic.

    Note that while they’re disingenuously proclaiming themselves to be a “free” tool, the license is actually an unfree proprietary custom license.

      Thank you for saving me the trouble of investigating this as an option.

      No reason to tolerate proprietary licenses when there are so many viable FLOSS solutions out there.

      Free as in beer. I don’t see that they claim to be open-source anywhere.

      The licence is pretty clear - the CLI version is entirely free for personal use (commercial use requires a licence, and the GUI is optional). If you don’t like the licence, that’s fine, but it’s hardly ‘disingenuous’ when it is free for personal use, and has been for many years.
