Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

run your backup process every few minutes, if both machines are online, it sends the latest snapshot, if not then it exits. You could reduce your snapshots to once a day, so it only does the data transfer once per day, and any extra backups just succeed.
The downside of this approach is you will need to setup alerting if a snapshot doesn't get backed up within a window, rather then alerting on a single backup process failing. (i.e. if the server doesn't have a successful backup within a week create an alert)
You could also do the same thing with rclone vfs mounts with full caching, so you could write locally even when the network is offline, and when you get online it would transfer (but you need to setup your server side alerting again)
