Backup is not a tool. Backup is not a software you can buy. Backup is a strategy you need to study and implement to be able to solve your specific problems.
Efficient backup of lxc containers in Proxmox - ZFS
If you are using Proxmox, ZFS is one of the best local storage options. You can easily backup your lxc containers using Borg.
