> I used to do this to save the $6 and backup locally. Unfortunately, it stopped being practical once the backups hit 3-4 GB since they'd interfere with my internet access in the morning. 3-4 GB of data each day? I backup data from my personal laptop to digitalocean droplet ($5 month) and then during the night backup droplet (which also stores my mail and other stuff) to the disc connected to raspi in my home. Incremental backup (rdiff-backup) takes literally 5 minutes (3 mins for /home and 2 mins for mail). And amount of data slowly approaches 9GB.
