backing up my home folder (linux) ABB vs Borg ?

[rzrjck]

I have PC with Ubuntu 25.04 (and 25.10 in a moment) and I want to do my home folder incremental backups.
I know that ABB allows me to do that (file server backup), and it has only multi-versioned -mean full backups, incremental - only latest version is available ?

most popular/recommended tool for backups on Linux is Borg, extra feature is deduplication - so I can store many incremental versions (possibly saving A LOT of space, right?)

Did I miss something? of course at the end, ABB allows me to browse backups from DSM UI.
Borg allows me to browse backups from clients or If I install borg-webgui I could do it from NAS's web as well.

Did anyone compare those solutions? any strong reason (or not strong ) to use one over another ?
