rdiff-backup comes to mind, easy to use, fast, not so heavy on ressources...
if you read about attic already you also might consider looking into https://borgbackup.org/ as kind of actively maintained/developed sucessor - good working thing...
a what?
I use JetBackup, rsnapshot, mysqldump... whatever fits the machine I guess? I just backup things :'D
Most lightweight solution would probably be tar + some scripting. If you invest a bit of time you can get something quite usable with all the features you want.

And for Windows? Preferably free and incremental.
Jetbackup for cpanel servers, and rsnapshot for centminmod servers, plus some bash scripts for sending things to S3 were needed.
borgbackup is where the cool people are at
Damn, I feel so old fashioned. I just use 2 external 2TB USB drives for my personal data. The first drive is updated every 2 weeks. 2nd drive is updated monthly.
I just don't trust online backups or applications to do the job.
I do think that storing personal data on plain HDDs offline is often more reliable, cheaper and faster than in the cloud but the main focus of this thread is on backing up server's data, imo. That often imposes different constraints.
For my personal vpses, I just SSH in, run tarball and mysql dump and wget them to elsewhere. Doesn't take too long for small servers.
Borg. There are a few reasons for this..
Resistance is futile.
BackupPC and JetBackup
R1Soft Continuous Data Protection
several tiers of backup solutions
For very large data set backups, just enable nginx maintenance mode https://community.centminmod.com/threads/sitestatus-maintenance-mode.5599/ + implement multi-threaded database and compression based backups - so more cpu cores you have, the faster the backup process https://community.centminmod.com/threads/compression-comparison-benchmarks-zstd-vs-brotli-vs-pigz-vs-bzip2-vs-xz-etc.12764/ so 30-40GB backup can complete in as little as 2-3 minutes
Veeam or Altaro
+1 for JetBackup for cPanel servers. The auto restore ability for the end user works very well and saves us many emails (yeah not tickets but emails from local companies).
I have found one shit that provide data destruction Services. May be it will help you destroy your data
I thought Data Protection Today people were scammers.
I've heard they use potatoes to store data
+2 jetbackup
amazon s3 s3cmd
I run FreeBSD on my servers with zfs-on-root and take snapshots with zfsnap2, have autobackupmysql (or automysqlbackup on linux) doing daily,weekly, and monthly MySQL backups, and finally I rsync all important folders (like web, databases, config, etc) over to several storage vpses.
I used to use tarsnap too
wOw I can’t believe how great their services are. Thank you for saving all of us from needing to ever worried about daya!!! No more Fsck!!
Huh, you have raid5, why do you need backups for? :P
</joke
raid is backup?!?!?!
Haha, just thought to post that some people do use RAID and thinks that it will protect them from disaster!!
We do use off site backup custom solution which use at least 3 different networks and hold data for last 4 months, as some files are very important to our customers and they will be able to access and download it at any time.
