My dad also used to self-host. Now I run all of the services he used to, and more.

Anyway, his server is still around so I thought I might as well use it for an offsite backup box, I run a matrix instance and nextcloud, as well as other things. But those two are the contents of which matter most.

How would you set this up?

Just a nightly rsync over sftp? That seems ineffecient. Is there a best way ro do this?

If you are all linux, perhaps you'd like Borg. It's pretty easy to set up, and perhaps it offers the de-duplication you crave. It's also got some GUIs you can run, if you are into that kind of thing. If you don't feel inclined to use any backup software, then using rsync over ssh (scp, yes) instead of SFTP is a solid way to go.
