Got a bit turned around searching for off-server cloud backup options.
Where do people do this? To some kind of static/cdn type service like S3 or Spaces? To a second VPS? To cloud backup services like Dropbox/Drive/Etc?
Was hoping to use the client's existing DropBox account which has lots of storage.
Went down a rabbit hole but then found Rclone (cloud wrapper for Rsync) which looks like a good fit. Got a proof of concept working. 👍
