As the title says, i recently printed a nice case for my RPi3 and HDD that intend to run as an offsite backup machine.

Looking for recommendations on what backup service to run. I want to backup my Nextcloud and a "changes only" backup/cloning solution would be optimal but i have yet to find one.

Check out borgbackup, it stores changes only, snapshots are created for every new backup, encrypts automatically and is pretty straightforward to use.

And if you're looking for a way to simplify the setup process: borgmatic
