I'm not affiliated with the channel in any way, but Lawrence Systems did a really good overview. It's what convinced me to switch to it and use it for LAN sync with my server keeping everything from my phones, laptops and desktop. It's also good for those who might have trouble understanding how it's supposed to work. I think my biggest difficulty was with the fact that normally it doesn't necessarily have the concept of a "server" per say, but once I understood this and organized it in such a way that my server WOULD behave like a server, the rest was pretty easy.

This guy works on his channel "Raid Owl" and uploads very nicely put videos, I found the channel while searching for homeserver technology videos, and find that he does a great job (but somehow hasn't been discovered by a greater public, judging by the smallish subscribers number)

He's using Syncthing for backups (by enabling a feature that keeps N copies of each file), which while possible, I hadn't thought of as a possibility

Lawrence Systems videos are great! I've learned so much from them and have implemented quite a few things at $WORK or home due to their videos.
