Just set up borg on a new macbook for backups. I use it for all my computers and servers, and I highly recommend it if you want to self-host! It ticks all the boxes for good backups:
- open source
- nice GUI and CLI (Vorta for the GUI)
- encryption
- deduplication
- compression
- backup to multiple destinations, including any SSH destination. I use borgbase.com and my home server.
- works on Linux and macOS
- robust scheduler
- alerts when backups don’t run
