Finding a good place for the offsite copy and keeping it reasonably fresh can be pretty hard.
Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync'd over (I don't generate a ton of data, so it's mostly just photos from my phone).
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of internet speed ...
We "only" have ~35Mbps upload, but that's plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.
But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!
I have ~4 mpbs upload ;-;
You probably don’t generate more than 4 megabits of backup-worthy data on average every second
