I backup my laptop with a program called Arq that encrypts it and then puts it somewhere.  Right now I have it backing up my laptop to the NAS as well as OneDrive where I have 1TB of storage.

I don't backup the NAS itself as that is where I store my backups, so anything on there is already backed or I can get/download again (like media).

This works well for me as my backup needs fit within that 1TB on OneDrive (I'm paying for it, I might as well use it), but this approach wouldn't work for everyone.

I back the BBS up the same way, the BBS directory gets 7zip'ed up and copied to the NAS & a linux utility called onedrive-uploader also copies it up to OneDrive.  It would be cool if my NAS supported syncing directories to the cloud automatically.
