Hi,

since we get fast internet here during the next weeks, an Off-site backup gets somehow realistically.

Since my Parents-in-law also get fast internet, I discussed with them, to be able to host some kind of Off-site backup at their house.

Obviously, it should consume as little power as possible and should be as easy as possible to install.

My current plan would be to get an old Dell optiplex in SFF and put a 18TB HDD into it. The i just have to connect it to LAN and power at their site.

The machine will be always on and connected via WireGuard to my homeserver.

Any better ideas? Anything I missed?

    I do not see any issues with your configuration.

    You can really use anything there rclone with any cloud provider, backblaze personal and etc. You can also encrypt the data before uploading it to the cloud, so it won’t be accessible to cloud provider, as alternative to it starwind vtl can be used to upload the data in parts.
