Comment on Pi NAS for multi-location backups

Sync is not backup.

Let’s repeat that - sync is not backup.

If your sync job syncs an unintentional deletion, the file is deleted, everywhere.

Backup stores versions of files based on the definitions you provide. A common backup schedule for a home system mat be monthly full, Daily incremental. In this way you have multiple versions of any file that’s changed.

With sync you only have replicants of one file that can be lost through the sync.
