I use a NAS for backup and I am always concerned about the backup being in the same physical location as the primary. I still haven't figured out the best way to resolve that.

    My solution is to have a mini PC in a remote location which boots at a given time each day (BIOS option using RTC Clock). It autoconnects via Wireguard VPN to my home network. I have rest-server running in a container.

    Locally, I have a cron job for restic backups to the remote rest-server, followed by an ssh command to update and power off.

    Has been solid so far!

    Gift a NAS to one of your friends or someone in your family who lives in a very secure location and has very good internet.

    Except tell them that the condition for you giving then a few TB on your hardware is that you sync your NAS to their NAS daily
