I have a RasPi 3 running just for serving boxbackup, with an external 
pair of drives configured as raid 1.  This has worked quite well for me.
My OSX laptop is backed up anywhere that has an internet connection.

It also backs up a couple of desktops in the house.

I couldn't find a pre-built windoze client the last time I looked.  That 
would be a useful addition.

Cheers,
