Is there anything I can selfhost that would allow me to backup my Mac-Air via time machine? I would be using a vps to host the backup. Thanks!

FreeNAS can do it (either via AFS or SMB). Or you can just set up a Samba server with the right magic incantations and use that network share to do Time Machine. I use FreeNAS since I already have it on my network. I gave each Mac its own ZFS volume so I can limit the size independently.
