What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data? (lemmy.ml)

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication.

Is the simple choice to run some S3-like backend and use CLI or other client to append and browse files? I'd love something with fault tolerance that someone can gradually add disks to. If ceph were either less complicated or used less resources I'd want to do that.

Borg. With rsync.net if you want to keep an off-site.

Is there a decent UI for borg, or is it all CLI?

Pika backup seems to be mentioned a lot.

On linux and Mac there's also https://vorta.borgbase.com/ which is pretty good

There's https://borgwarehouse.com/ Haven't found the time to test it but looks interesting.
