Use SSH. Ether open a port in the firewall or connect it to a VPN. If the backups are done on a schedule, you could also setup a cron job on the Pi to send the WoL packet a few minutes ahead of time.
Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

Use a VPN; don’t open up SSH to the internet.

Or just be cautious, thoughtful and sensible if you do. Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Ssh over Internet is fine as long as it’s properly setup (no password auth, root not allowed, etc.).

Wireguard between you and remote device like a pi. Set pi to portfowarding and masquerading on. It will then let you be on say a 10.x.x x network remotely but will send info on the remote LAN like it came from that pi local IP
