Is there anything I can selfhost that would allow me to backup my Mac-Air via time machine? I would be using a vps to host the backup. Thanks!

Thanks for the fantastic options I never thought about. I just don’t trust the USB external drive. I’ve had nothing but bad luck with it. Thanks again!

Rsync is great, but unless you are using a system on top of rsync (eg. rsync-backup) it only gives you a single copy which isn’t the best option for backups.

For example, you accidentally change a file but by the time you notice the version you want has been overwritten.
