How to set up like this with features -
- Forever full backups/DeDuplication
- Option Delete changes older than x.
- How to Only backup Select Data, like only personal data,
- Save a "Ghost" for other data (from internet) which is only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure.
- "File Change Tracker" to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed.
- "File History" where I see previous version of files.
- Configure from inside folders for disks (not OS) with
.backupconfigfile containing something like backup=1, or have select file backuped/not-backed-up.
Incremental backup method, where I only make full backups once ,
Question - as i understand from "grandfather,father,son" method - that Full backups are still necessary when using snapshots/incremental backups, why is that ?
To Backup
- External and Internal Disk (files) and OSes to backup,
- Backup select data from Disks,
- all separately backup-ed to the same backup disk, .

How it compares to bacula ? seems like bacula is enterprise level
Not used bacula myself, couldn't say.
You might also want to keep an eye on vykar which is promising all the best bits from restic/borg:
