Borg is a solid choice, but over the last couple years I’ve transitioned to Restic which prefer slightly. It seems a lot faster, has better usability/ergonomics, and easier to configure a write-only setup (so your server can write snapshots, but is incapable of deleting and such).
Just wanted to add that borgmatic is like a configuration manager for borg backup. Still CLI & config file, and just running borg commands on the back end, but adds some nice features like notifications while really simplifying the configuration required.

I’ve never tried restic.
I’m happy with borg and no real reason to switch.
