  • I think that rsnapshot would do the job. I installed it on my OpenWRT router and make all backups on disk drive plugged into the router. It uses rsync under the hood and is very *Unixy* in nature. I first learned about it after reading this review by Eric Raymond titled rsnapshot: you’re doing it right!: esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3124http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3124 Commented Oct 1, 2016 at 10:25
  • @ArkadiuszDrabczyk Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, OpenWRT does not support my device (using stock ISP provided modem/router as they do not supposedly support other devices). I have no qualm in purchasing and configuring a device, but would like that as the last option. But please feel free to make that an answer, it deserves a markup and would also benefit others trying to succeed with this. Commented Oct 1, 2016 at 11:00
