I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

You will reconsider calling strategy a backup should the filesystem get corrupted for whatever reason.

I've tested my full system backup restore once with btrfs. Worked out fine.

Maybe Photoprism isn't a backup strategy, but Syncthing for sure is, because you can have multiple backup units in it.

I'm additionally use software RAID on one of devices, that receives Syncthing backups.
