Any backup software that supports incremental backup should work similarly bandwitdth-wise. I like Restic. You can even do incremental backups with plain rsync, if you want. If your data does not change much, than you should be okay. For the initial backup run it would be helpful if you have physical access to the remote location so you can bring a full backup there without having to upload it through your slow uplink.
Definitely an option if I'm a bit more selective with what i back up. At the moment for the client backups i'm zipping and encrypting the entire home folder for each client once a week. I could probably write something that looks for file changes and uploads just those
rsync is your friend. No need to write something that already exists! A simple "rsync -aP /directory/folder/ /backup/solutionFolder" is all it really needs. the / at the end of the first directory search tells it to backup the contents inside the folder to the folder listed after the space.
