Fwiw, Borg is coming up on 10. 12 if you include the project it forked from. I like the simplicity of rsync approaches, but Borg seems to have longevity and widespread use.
Restic is also around 10 years old... at least based on it's github commit history. I should probably look at them again at some point. Hard to get motivated to replace a working system for some disk space.
I'll use Restic or BorgBackup for servers, but ended up going with Kopia for machines that are not always on, like laptops. It has the advantage that it will take something of an opportunistic approach where it will start backing up if it hasn't done so in a while, and seems to be able to restart with aplomb if it gets interrupted (machine shutdown or laptop lid closed). That and being able to have multiple machines…
BorgBackup user here and really happy. It was a set and forget for me and after 7 years, the deduplicated backup is still working flawlessly each week. I recommend pairing it with borgmatic [1], which helps to design away some of the complexities of the underlying borg backup. [1]: https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic
