Comment on Pi NAS for multi-location backups

What I do is a local backup on a different disk, then a copy of that local backup to a Pi at a friend’s place, with rsync.

I came here to say the same thing except that I have a pi locally and one at a relative’s house. I back up to the local pi and a nightly cron starts rsync to pull my local copy.
I chose this so that i could control the rstnc start time, bandwidth and stop time but also so I could leave the remote network vanilla with no open ports, etc. With bandwidth limiting, it may take a few days to catch up from full backups, but a differential is same day.
Be sure to use a RO filesystem or overlay FS on the Pi card. I’ve had them go corrupt.
