Easy to use and reliable, though without fancy block-level deduplication of Borg or Restic. If using as root to do a full system backup to a network make sure to sync an up to date copy of /etc/fstab and /root/.config/backintime/config to an accessible location (somewhere other than your hard drive).
Pro
Efficient use of storage with file-level deduplicationBack In Time
