We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

WiFi-connected Backup storage to leave at my parents’ house? (alien.top)

Looking for a simple device that does the following:

Turns on when plugged in
Connects to my home NAS and syncs changes
Repeats daily on schedule

Any simple, low-maintenance offsite solution like this that I can set up once and periodically check-in on? This will just hide in a bedroom at my parent’s house connected to their wifi.

Even a MyCloud-type consumer junk device would be fine, just need that offsite without too much headache.

Thanks!

What kind of nas do you have? Usually they have a good way to backup between their machines. I'd go with a lower spec version of what you've got, provided youre happy with it.
