I used to use rsync to maintain an offsite backup - you can have it write out the change journal to a file then transport that file via USB drive (or whatever) to be later applied at the target end. But now I go for portable drives so they're not even mounted in order to be susceptible to accidental deletion..
My off-site backup is another NAS at the office. I'm using rsnapshot to do the copying. This is a script based on rsync which adds generations to the backup. So even if you accidentally delete a file and have the backup replicate the deletion, you'd have an older generation on the backup system. The same applies to files which got encrypted by some malware and transferred to the remote NAS: there would still be an older copy of that file.
