3-2-1 rule.

I would use time machine capsule and periodically (weekly?) connect an encrypted external drive and Borg backup there. Next week a second drive, third week the first one...

Always keep one of this drive off-site.

This is just one of many options how to get reasonably safe (I use an almost this one just deja-dup instead of time machine.)

I also use deja-dup but lately it seems to choke when trying to determine what to back up (I have about 175 GB of files, which doesn't seem outrageous). Have you had any issues with the speed? It could be that I have a long history saved on my backup drive and it's trying to apply too many incremental diffs.

I have no idea. Anything in logs? Maybe move backups to an other location and start a new backup repo to see what happens?
