That sounds like a good possible solution. Online backups are not an option for me, due to internet limitations, but paid app with open source restore tool is an acceptable solution. At least that way I am not going to be stuck with no way to retrieve my files in case the company ever goes out of business or something like that. I wish there was a way to make it run in powernap, like Time Machine does. I was even considering using TM with a network drive. It's not terribly difficult to setup, you just need to setup AFS I believe , and set a few flags. I have done this before. But TM is annoyingly not configurable and insists on "backing" things up locally until it can offload the backup to the server.
