I am currently attempting to degoogle and at the same time move to an entirely self hosted ecosystem.

I’ve set up a NAS and have syncthing to deal with the dropbox/gdrive type things and have backup on a raid disk. What I am looking for now is a backup solution that can backup to my nas and in the future a remote device - probably to another nas at a family member’s hous

Can anyone recommend a backup solution for this?

Technically I am not looking to degoogle as I don’t gave a Google solution for this- but I guess I’m looking for a self hosted alternative to GCP backup.

    Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

    Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

    Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

    • I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

    • On Windows: robocopy.exe

    • On Linux: rsync

    • On Mac: rsync

    • On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

    • On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…

    Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

    For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.
