Now this idea I like! Thanks for this, I didn't think about using the Git repo as a SECONDARY backup source.
Also, using Nextcloud sounds like a neat idea. I'm into Self-Hosting stuff myself nowadays but am starting out small (ex: Just bought an old Dell Optiplex from eBay, put 2 HDDs into it, planning on using it for HDD backups, and as a Git server). However, this sounds like an awesome workflow, as I did not consider to host Nextcloud. Awesome idea, thank you for this, Juan!
