With restic you can pipe to stdin, so I use mysqldump and pipe it to restic:
mysqldump --defaults-file=/root/backup_scripts/.my.cnf --databases db-name | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename db-name.sql
The .my.cnf looks like this:
[mysqldump]
user=db-user
password="databasepassword"
FYI: if you run freebsd you are not affected: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-security/2024-March/000248.html

Restic is my tool of choice for deduplicated encrypted verifiable compressed incremental backups.
Why would you put a file system on the drive if you dd a disto image?
I use restic.
I use wasabi s3, I back up to that using restic.
I know, but I’d say ppl on Linux tend to not use it.
