yes. I have a rack in my basement and host gitlab out of one of my servers.

it's available over LAN or VPN.

nightly backups to a nas and weekly syncs to S3.

S3 seems like a really expensive way to backup personal data. Are you doing it to achieve the offsite backup?

I currently dont have an offsite and im weighing up having a NAS at my parents place.

S3 is within my budget, but it can get expensive. and yes it's my off site.

if I had someplace else I could trust like you mentioned I might do that but it's just too much data to send.

my gitlab backups are around 80gb.

Hey have you considered lakefs based solutions for backups? I think you can set the retention rules up so that only backups upto so many months are retained and the rest are removed. That way only the diff in the backup files need to be uploaded.
