I have considered buying or building a second NAS and putting it in my parents house for offsite backup.
This is what I'm currently building.
Crashplan used to have a backup-to-friend option. Guess it wasn't selling their backup so they canceled it.
I'm working on the same thing using mini or micro pc with enough space inside for perhaps 4 SSD's. (Trying to keep power consumption down).
Running UnRAID, using the Tailscale plugin, everyone will be able to connect to each other, anywhere, over my Tailscale net.
Setup quotas, define how to backup stuff (e.g. Phone photos, etc), and it's your own Personal Crashplan in a box.
Can also run PiHole in unRAID. So now you have DHCP/DNS, ad-blocking too. Now I just need enough horsepower to run Jellyfin on the box...
