A NAS would be perfect, some routers also have USB ports in them to host network shares using external drives.
If you really want to dive in, I use Duplicacy to upload to my server hourly, and then I have another Duplicacy instance running on docker on the server that uploads daily to a remote share.
That looks appealing! I'm gonna look more into that, looks like the personal license only supports one device and I don't think it would work for mobile devices but I'm sure I could find a mobile app for local share backup.
Thank you!
I use Nextcloud to do my mobile backups to my server, which are then included in the daily remote backup 😄
Why duplicacy? I currently use Rsync and Rclone to and from various cloud providers.
It's honestly the most baked solution that I've tried. To be specific, I tried straight scp/SFTP, rsync, Backblaze Personal, and Duplicati. Compared to those, it really feels like night a day. It has a nice dashboard, an alert system, but most importantly it has check jobs to ensure your data is actually there and intact.
With just a initial look at rsync, that would work as well but I'd have to setup with WSL on windows. Probably a better open source option but more manual setup.
I'll check it out more but a dashboard with easy use and setup would be best for me. Thank you for mentioning them, I do run linux too so I might have to use that.
