I currently use Borg for all my backups. To have a remote backup I placed my old Synology NAS at a family member and connected it to tailscale (via a tailscale docker container). That way I could also can do Borg backups to that remote NAS.

Though I have problems with the stability of the tailscale connection from the NAS. And honestly, I’m a bit tired to fix these problems.

I would like to have a self hosted backup solution, that can reach the synology NAS. I would like to avoid port forwarding at my family members network (for obvious reasons). I have a VPS in the internet that I can use for a common self hosted contact point (like I setup headscale there instead of using official Tailscale servers).

What would be your way for handling these remote backups?

      Personally for me, the spirit of self-hosting is incompatible with using Cloudflare and Synology services, but I understand that less technical users may prefer commercial services.
