In addition to the recommendations you're getting already, I recommend learning about Borg Backup. It has great documentation.
https://www.borgbackup.org/
Borgmatic is a project that makes automatic backups easier with Borg.

If you want a GUI for your personal machines there is Vorta.

I've used Borg for years now and test my restores every year. Which reminds me… I should do that more often. 😅
while borgbackup is superior I'd like to hear your thoughts on that whole restic thing, e.g. backrest.
Restic seems nice but I don’t have any experience with it so don’t have much to say. Someone else with some experience with Restic might come along though and contribute. :)
