Any S3-compatible object storage solution would do, plus it's immensely used in enterprise so a lot of software supports backing up to S3 objects. Operates entirely over HTTPS.

Garage is a self hostable s3 compatible bucket
Restic. You just need a s3-compatible object store in k8s to make it work. All else is handled by the client. That's what I used (not with k8s), with resticprofile.
I also heard Borg is a great alternative, but never try personally, nor how it works. Both are CLI only I believe.
I second restic and i use it with wasabi. Haven't touched it in years. Do a fire still once a year and it's worked perfectly. I even basically cloned my proxmox setup the other day.
Borg, you meant?
Typo thanks for heads up
Restic has a neat web GUI called Backrest
Borg
It's easy to use, there are CLI-wrapper and GUIs, it's crossplattform, deduplicates, compresses, encrypt and based on rsync. I use it for alle backups between machines and networks.
And borgmatic makes retention rules with automatic runs super easy. It basically a wrapper that runs borg on the client side.
I second borg, been using it for years and it's never let me down. Granted, I haven't actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol
Borg is great and I use it myself but afaik there is no Windows version and there is only remote support over SSH, not HTTPS.
As a workaround for Windows you can sync files to a Linux machine with SyncThing for example, and use Borg there.
Restic with rest-server is great.
Kopia is a little newer and has an actual web ui, so may be a good choice too.
I still use restic on all of my severs, but have started using Kopia for my non server machines.
Both support compression, encryption, and deduplication.
I have read that kopia has corrupted Dara systematically in the past. What's your experience with it?
I have not had any issues with Kopia so far, but I have also only used it for maybe a year? My main reason for trying it was that I wanted to be able to give something to family members to use as a backup client with a reasonable ui. I can also control the default exclude list and default policies for compression/etc pretty easily.
I don't know how many years of restic backups I have, but I still rely on it for my most important data. Anything really important on my desktop/laptop gets backed up via kopia, but also gets copied (usually via nextcloud) to a server that has hourly zfs snapshots and daily restic snapshots. Both the restic and kopia snapshots get stored on a local nas and then synced to rsync.net.
Perhaps urbackup? It is suited for multiple different platforms and supports multiple users. I don't know of it can be hosted on k8s as I am not too familiar with that yet.

Have you looked at Duplicati? I use it and find it dead simple and reliable (I did a full recovery from a total data loss last year).
I am not sure if it fits the bill, but Syncthing?
