(Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I tried searching the sub and didn't see anything)

I want all of my various machines to back up to my Synology sitting on my local network. I'm then going to back up the Synology to iDrive.

I can use any backup software from macOS/Windows/Ubuntu to the NAS, and then I'll be using iDrive from the NAS to the cloud.

My question is this: How do I handle versioning between these two backup steps? Almost all software (including iDrive) support incremental backups, old versions, etc.

It seems weird to have a database of multiple file versions running from each machine to the NAS, and then, what? Multiple versions of the multiple-versions-databases to iDrive? I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Any suggestions are welcome!
