I was meditating about this some years ago. For backup workload I concluded a 
model with built-in gigabit Ethernet interface and 3.0 USB would be better 
<https://www.amazon.com/ODROID-XU4-Single-Board-Computer-Gigabit/dp/B0163GEA64>.
Since I live in Brazil where importing taxes are absurd, I never executed this 
experiment.

Maybe creating another child mailing list would organize this project better.
