Thanks but I’m limited to openmediavault on my Rpi locally. I wanted to try something a little more powerful like truenas to get more experience different linux-based systems. But given that I currently don’t have any major plans for the remote server other than storing backups I may just put a distro that I can install borg on like others have suggested.

Thanks, I like the idea of running it in a container, I’ll have to look into that.

That is a good question, haha. I wanted to try something other than openmediavault that had a GUI, was designed for NAS, and protects against disk failure (specifically with raidz). However, I think openmediavault actually supports zfs now which might be easier given that I am limited to openmediavault on my local Rpi 4 server.
