Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

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.

  • restic without any doubt. I use it with S3 backend and SSH copy and it has an excellent performance (with copies of years).

    Borg I was using it for a while (to compare) and I do not recommend it, it is not a bad product, but it has a lousy performance compared to restic.

    Kopia I didn't know it, but from what I have read about it it seems to be very similar to restic but with some additions to make it pretty (like having ui).

    Some people say that Kopia is faster in sending data to the repository (and other people say it's restic), I think that, unless you need ui, I would use restic.
