So - if I move my PBS machine from the Dell tower to one of my Poweredge servers, I might run it on top of Proxmox, too; this way I could get rid of a Raspberry Pi Proxmox quorum node that I run. [I have a 3 node Proxmox cluster...]

I use my NFS for file storage; like on all my laptops ~/Downloads, ~/Documents, etc etc - I syncthing to the NAS... then I backup the entire NAS to my PBS. So I guess ONE of my backups gets sent to the NAS, but I try to keep a proper 3-2-1 backup system - its getting so big, however, that I'm gonna have to buy more hardware in order to get an offsite backup.

One really cool thing I've been looking into - is linking up with someone else who has the same sized NAS as I do, and doing the remote backups with them. I give them access to some share on my NAS/PBS, and they do the same for me, and we send encrypted backups offsite; sharing the hardware we run so we both have a FINAL 3-2-*1* backup offsite... I just need to find someone else who runs a 100TB+ NAS. :P
