I run a Nextcloud instance on a RaspberryPi and then use the Nextcloud
client on my laptop and on my Android phone to sync my important files,
including my KeepassXC database. Additionally the Nextcloud instance
creates periodic snapshots on an external SSD with Btrfs. Provision of
backup for multiple devices was my original motivation for this set-up.
