Hi, I have been trying to find how to setup an automatic backup every
day of a server at my work on an offsite hardrive or NAS. If possible,
only update the files that have changed during the day and keep a copy
of both files.

Any lead on how to do it or where I should start my research? Thanks!

\*We already have an unused NAS, but from what I understand I would
need one onsite and offsite for them to communicate?

SyncThing, rsync, rclone, etc. You could also simply use the search
function.

I've been using restic for my all my server backups(alongside daily
Proxmox snapshots), twice a day.

All incremental(Restic). And they are transferred to my NAS at home
via a NFS mounted folder.

​

For Restic, just google it. It's very easy to setup. Or ask ChatGPT,
should get a pretty good answer for this kind of thing.
