I would've been curious to see how BackinTime stacks up.

Duplicity/deja-dup (a GNOME frontend for duplicity) is pre-installed on most GNOME-based DE's, which makes it convenient for end-users, but I found the limitation of only being able to configure a single backup destination to be too limiting.

By contrast, BiT supported multiple destinations and profiles, meaning I could have one local, one off-site, one "Personal Data" backup, one "System" backup to fall back if an OS update fails, etc. Its configuration options were much more attractive.
