Solutions for backups (lemmy.ml)

I am currently attempting to degoogle and at the same time move to an entirely self hosted ecosystem.

I've set up a NAS and have syncthing to deal with the dropbox/gdrive type things and have backup on a raid disk. What I am looking for now is a backup solution that can backup to my nas and in the future a remote device - probably to another nas at a family member's hous

Can anyone recommend a backup solution for this?

Technically I am not looking to degoogle as I don't gave a Google solution for this- but I guess I'm looking for a self hosted alternative to GCP backup.

Use something like rclone (that can use file change deltas) when you just need to copy files to remotes and feel free to combine it with an incremental backup solutions like Borg or restic or some custom rsync scripting. Example: keep a Borg repository of your laptop or emails or whatever with whatever retention policy you want. Then copy your repository anywhere with rclone or similar.
