For containers (but I use k3s) I use git to store helmfiles and configuration, secrets in ci/cd system.
For the rest - I use autorestic that backups data over ssh and S3.

A lot of services have some kind of way to create backup files. I have cronjobs doing that daily then uploading it to some cloud storage with rclone.
I'm running https://www.arqbackup.com/ to Storj and Synology on my desktops and plain NFS copy on my server.
Encrypted backup to google drive weekly from unraid, planning to get a NAS for another backup location
I use rsync with an offsite backup.
Duplicati. Works like a charm. Supports practically every backend (S3, backblaze, one drive, Google, storj, sia, even Tahoe!
I've gotten decent results from s3cmd sync.
I don't know if it's a smart solution but I have a HDD in my server that is used just for backups, each night I have rsync automatically moving stuff from multiple locations that I want to back up onto the drive. After that is done I have Kopia backup to B2, with compression, deduplication and encryption. I use healthchecks.io as well to alert me if any of the steps fails to complete (but none of the steps block each other).
ZFS send to a pair of mirrored HDDs on the same machine ever hour and a daily restic backup to S3 storage. Every six months I test and verify the cloud backup.
Rsync custom script. I am connecting two different hard disks (1 natively + 1 remotely via ssh) to backup the disk.
1 tine per month, U unplug ny microsd fro my Raspberry Pi 4 Server and I am making a full backup of the sd in case it fails, to restore it to a new sd card.
I've been using Restic for a while, and it's backing up to a Hetzner storage box (1TB).
Restic supports encryption, compression, deduplication, and can forget old backups in a spread out timeline (configurable; e.g. save one yearly, three monthly and 7 daily).
On top of this I also use healthchecks.io to make sure all backups are working.
raid1 + data duplication
Photos, videos, music, documents, etc.. are available on multiple devices using SyncThing.

Thanks! I just started setting up NixOS on my laptop and I'm planning to use it for servers next. Saving this for later!
