I have my "home" as a master Syncthing folder, that I sync with a RPI3: https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/ I have it set up to keep a few revisions of every file. Syncthing is not really meant for backup, but I really like that it just happens over the network, in the background, without further intervention. I am clumsy, lazy and not disciplined enough for other backup setups that require action (e.g. connecting the computer to something sometimes, manually triggering backups, etc...)

For my personal devices, I also use Syncthing.. but I do not keep revisions. Instead, I have push only from Laptop (etc) and on a server running ZFS I take automatic hourly, daily, weekly and monthly snapshots which are auto-purged set on my retention strategy. It is much more efficient on disk space. Occasionally, I will run rsync across the device by hand just to check consistency - but so far it has been reliable.
