Thanks! These were experimental so I'm glad I got some eatable ones! A shame about the beetles.

Back in January, I had a small potato from the market that went green, so I decided to quarter it and plant it in this old wicker basket. The soil eventually got heaped up to slightly over halfway. Not too bad!
"I'll take a bit of kibble and EAT IT!!"
If you are all linux, perhaps you'd like Borg. It's pretty easy to set up, and perhaps it offers the de-duplication you crave. It's also got some GUIs you can run, if you are into that kind of thing. If you don't feel inclined to use any backup software, then using rsync over ssh (scp, yes) instead of SFTP is a solid way to go.
I personally run a ProxMox cluster. I run both Windows and Linux servers. I perform local full-VM backups using the hypervisor to a USB disk. That gives me a fast way to restore VMs if I need to. I also run Veeam, which handles the offsite copy and provides granular file restores. It's nice because the community edition supports hardened disk immutability, which can help prevent ransomware attacks and Unfortunate Incidents. That just runs over SSH, and installs a Veeam agent/repo on the remote linux box.
Tell us a bit about your environment! Are you all linux or do you have Windows as well? Are you running a hypervisor like Proxmox or VMWare or using containers? Are you just making complete backups, or can you forsee yourself needing granular file restores? There are a number of ways you could go, depending on your setup.
I recently moved, and did not start over from scratch, as I had most of the same rooms/sensors/setup. It went well! I added in new rooms and sensors as necessary. I did recently move from the Nortek combined stick to a separate SONOFF 3.0 for Zigbee and a Zooz 800 stick for Z-Wave, which also went well, but left things named a bit oddly. Reading some of the other comments about how often they blow out their environment makes me think maybe I should!
It's not quite as full featured as Evernote, but I like Joplin. It can sync using Nextcloud, OneDrive, WebDAV, and other services. It's end to end encrypted and works well on Android!
I was considering a dwarf cultivar to keep it small-garden sized, but I haven't put too much though into it yet.
No fruit trees, although I might try planting some next year. There will be a number of food, uh, shrubs, I guess, going into my native plant garden that I'm excited about, like serviceberry and salal!
That's what it was for Boost for Reddit. I used it for years adfree after a one time purchase.

The picture up top is a Sugar Pie pumpkin that I'm going to try and trellis vertically. Look at that flower!
My pet cilantro is flowering as well. It's been hot and dry, so it decided to skip the 'lets make herb' part, understandable. The flowers still can make a nice pesto!
We've got marigolds going around the property!
The nasturtiums are in full bloom, and delicious in our salads.
The tomatoes are doing their thing, yay!

Today's harvest! Red leaf lettuce, little gem lettuce, radishes, and carrots I picked too early because I was too curious!
Howdy, gardeners! Exciting day, the first tomato of the season! This is particularly heartwarming for me as this is a new home, new garden, new tomato cultivar! This is a Gardener's Delight, in a felt pot! I'm in Tacoma, Zone 8b. How are your tomato babies doing?
Which is somewhat BS, since we have a perfectly good Olympic Peninsula here in Washington State that it was certainly named after.
