Comment on What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

This would be self-hosted and local, one of the locations in a 3-2-1 strategy. BackBlaze would work for an offsite but I already have that portion covered.

that doesn’t require I keep a full local copy of all the data

So you want a local self hosted backup, but also not a full copy? So like backup only recently changed files?

  I want like one local device to have a full copy, but the devices writing new data into that one do not need a full copy.

    I think you just described using a NAS as primary storage.

    Do you have a software you like for that?

    In technical terms you mean doing an incremental or differential back up to a local network storage location, correct?

    “Incremental” sounds right. I want it to act like rsync without deleting files on the destination, so all the folders are merged. (It would be cool if it kept versions but I don’t absolutely need that.) Tools like Borg or Restic look great, but I have been searching to see if they support this kind of usage and they seem not to.
