Ask HN: What FOSS cloud backup tool is reliable?

I'm currently looking for a reliable cloud backup tool. There are several, but they all have their issues... and I'm getting a bit lost.

Things I'm looking for:

* dedup

* compression

* encryption

* upload to cloud

* reliable

* opensource (preferably with a friendly license)

* usable on linux

It'll be something in the ballpark of 600GB - 1TB that I want to backup to cloud.

These are the ones I am currently looking at:

Restic: looks nice, but ... https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-as-destination-for-borgbackup/12717/9

Duplicity: no dedup

Duplicati: beta forever. I'm reading a lot of things about database rebuild issues, issues with big datasets. Mono app, not a huge fan but not a dealbreaker

Duplicacy: Looks great except for the license. I don't mind paying for a good product, but... https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/blob/master/LICENSE.md

BorgBackup: No cloud support (except for SSH)

Am I missing anything? Is there anything people can comment on any of the above products?
