I have onsite (client) a Synology DS1813+ with ~15TB of critical data behind a NAT. Offsite (host), I have an unRaid 6.8.x server with two 10TB disks I've purchased installed in it (my Brother's house) plus access to his parity. I've been looking at what storage options I have to create an offsite backup (w/ encryption and versioning) and I suspect using HyperBackup with the rsync client is the best option, but is it? I first tried Syncthing and it doesn't appear to offer encryption. My goals are: reverse proxy on the offsite host similar to Quickconnect so I don't have to worry about its IP changing. host-side encryption so that the owner of the unRaid server doesn't have access to the data I store on it. versioning of the backup via the synology hyper backup client or similar little to no CPU impact on either side onsite or offsite. little to no hands-on management required on the host side outside of a docker for sftp or rsync. little to no port mapping. Thanks!

Thanks, I remember that vid. I would need to maintain IP traffic over the same Cat5e patch cables too, which leans towards the IP solution. I should re-visit the optical thunderbolt option. I have a CalDigit TB2 dock somewhere in my piles of things.

I'm planning a new unraid build on a 3900x for an unraid or proxmox workstation and I'd like to carve off a VM for my wife to run two 1440p monitors for photo editing on the other side of our house. There is a gig ethernet connection between us, and many walls. I understand the best option would be a long-run thunderbolt dock with embedded displayport, but what hardware-encoded KVM-over-IP options are currently out there that would be price-appropriate to a home use scenario? Something similar to PCoIP was. I'd entertain the idea of a NUC or something at the client end but I want to consolidate high-end hardware to a single ATX case. Similarly, I'd also like to run a second VM to our TV and eliminate the HTPC. Each VM would have a passthrough Nvidia GPU. We have 4+ sandy-bridge PC's in the house for two people and I want to consolidate the heat sources...
