Backup solutions for iPad Goodnotes? (self.selfhosted)

My uni lab has ~~subsidized~~ provided* an iPad for study, so I am using it primarily for handwritten note-taking.

After a while, I figured I cannot easily transcript all of it into notes on laptop. Especially, the hand-drawn diagrams take way too much effort to translate into TeX diagrams. Since these notes are quite important to me, I want a proper backup solution.

I am using Goodnotes for note-taking. How would I go with backups of the Goodnotes files? Of course I could use iCloud, but I want to avoid it for privacy reasons. Preferably, I want self-hosted backup options. What are the good backup solutions in this case?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Why so many downvotes? Is it bad to get an iPad? Basically my uni lab (forcefully) bought me an iPad, should I have rejected it?

Thanks, but I am worried about relying on small repo like this. EDIT: But it did made me realize Goodnotes support WebDAV, thanks!

To be honest, that was the only thing I could scrape up. At the very least, I figured if it wasn't readily usable, it would give you some ideas of how to cobble together something along the same lines to solve your issue. Other options were using proprietary apps like FoneBackup, etc.

Cheers
