I would follow up with a suggestion to also consider restic, which is very similar to Borg Backup -- except it doesn't have the restriction that the server needs to be "clever" (you can upload to S3 or any dumb blob store).

I just run borgbackup and backup to a local folder, and rsync to my home nas if I am connected to my home network.

If I need to force a sync over the internet, there is a small shell script that would rsync the backup folder to the home nas.

This allows me to run hourly backups even if there is no network connection (or limited bandwidth), and then just auto sync when I get home, or force a backup when I get a good connection.
