I use both too for all my stuff, didn’t know of an append mode.

Do you perhaps have a good solution for backing up backups on another system? I’d like to store the repo of my vps on my Homeserver.

I currently have set up a cromjib that downloads the newest backup repo every week using SFTP, then deletes the old one if everything is fine.

I should do some testing that goes beyond just looking at files in my backup through.
