I have a reciprocal arrangement with a friend. We both have fibre connections 
with no data caps, so we each host a USB drive & Raspberry Pi belonging to the 
other. We each store (encrypted) backups at the other's site. The (rsync) 
backups are scripted to occur nightly during the early hours of the morning so 
as to not have any affect on our links during the day.

It works very well, and provides us with automated off-site duplication at no 
additional cost over a local USB drive solution (other than the up-front cost 
of the Pis, which were <$70 each).

It even runs over IPv6 :)
