I'm currently using DEJADUP for my backups, but after changing computers, I had a frustrating experience where the 'restore' button didn't show up. Instead, it just opened the file manager, and I had to manually copy and paste my files back, which took forever. I'm looking for better backup software that can handle reliable incremental backups and is user-friendly. Any recommendations?

BorgBackup is another option worth considering. It provides features like remote backups via BorgBase. Plus, if you prefer a graphical interface, you can check out Vorta as a GUI frontend.

What about using rsync? It's a classic tool that’s great for backups. Personally, I find it straightforward to use.

Restic is definitely a solid choice for incremental backups. It handles bulk downloading for restored data and also lets you restore files at a granular level. Just a heads up, it's command-line only, but I use the Backrest frontend to manage it through my browser, which makes it easier.

You might want to try Back In Time. It uses rsync for incremental backups and has great documentation. It even supports directory patterns for includes and excludes, and the developers are super involved and friendly.

I just stick to rsync for my backups too. It works well for me, and it's quite reliable.
