"Maintenance-free" means that we'd rather make full use of a fixed amount of disc space. Management of disc space must be completely automatic, so the process never grinds to a halt for reasons that could be automatically resolved. Failed backups can be restarted in case of network problems. . We use the standard OpenSSH on the server for encrypted transport & access control, btrfs for simple snapshots and rsync for efficient data transfer across the network. . Backups should require as little configuration as possible to be safe - just the server address should be enough.
