Looking for a simple device that does the following:

  1. Turns on when plugged in
  2. Connects to my home NAS and syncs changes
  3. 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!

    Actually that would be ONE (probably the only) use for the MyCloud things where you can enable ssh, and it comes with a usable ssh with sftp subsystem (can be used as rclone backend) and rsync binary (you can do rsync over ssh). Not that is for the MyCloud without “Home”, which are much more “cloudy” things.

    Otherwise of course anything else that has USB (and the network you want, wired or wifi) and runs ssh/rsync would do, including Windows if needed but most likely a Raspberry Pi or something.
