📊 Poll: Best backup tool for a Fedora 42 laptop → S3 storage?

I’m running Fedora 42 on my laptop and need a reliable, easy-to-use backup solution that can push backups directly to an Amazon S3 (or S3-compatible) bucket. Which would you choose?

This is just after a reboot.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (4) @ 2.545GHz
Memory: 0.70GiB / 3.70GiB (18%)
Disk (/): 23G / 40G (61%)

It is running #Nextcloud, and so effectively does the cloud storage, calendar & contacts. I've been running this since before Nextcloud (I used to use OwnCloud).

This and SSH is all that is accessible outside of home. Both have MFA and China is currently blocked (I mean to expand this list).

However it also handles DHCP & DNS for the home LAN using #dnsmasq and I use it as an email archive (#dovecot). There is a functional #fetchmail install, but this is currently switched off.

It also has my #Subversion archive. That stays until I get around to having a proper look at #git.

With #USA going downhill I do have plans to get it do do more - but I'm playing with using #docker containers so if anything gets hacked, that will minimise the damage. I currently have too much running on the raw iron.

I'm using #borg for backups onto an external HDD that then occasionally is copied elsewhere (physical media off-site).

J'ai une sauvegarde #Borg et je souhaite transférer cette sauvegarde sur une autre machine. borg extract ne semble pas faire cela.
Y a t'il un moyen de récupérer tous les fichiers sauvegardés par une commande borg ou faut il monter l'archive et faire un cp ou rsync ?
