I'm particularly interested in low bandwidth solutions. My connection to the internet is pretty rough 20mbps down and 1mbps up with no option to upgrade.

That said, this isn't limited to low bandwidth solutions.

I'm planning on redoing my entire setup soon to run on Kubernetes followed by expanding the scope of what my server does (Currently plex, a sftp server and local client backups). Before i do that i need a proper offsite backup solution.

rsync is your friend. No need to write something that already exists! A simple "rsync -aP /directory/folder/ /backup/solutionFolder" is all it really needs. the / at the end of the first directory search tells it to backup the contents inside the folder to the folder listed after the space.
