For my automated backups, I use Back In Time to a ZFS dataset with
compression enabled. As Back In Time uses rsync with --link-dest, each
backup is a "full" backup, content is compressed at rest (file by file),
and encryption is possible, though I do not do that with my on-site media.

For my off-site backups, which are a subset of what Back In Time saves,
I build a compressed tarball, encrypt with GPG, and copy to a thumb
drive (a different one each week). I've built scripts to help with this.

This is how I do a form of 3-2-1 backups.
