I have a RPi running nextcloud and a second RPi rsyncing all the files weekly from it, nothing off-site, but at least it’s two separate drives on different machines. Anything that I can improve here(cheaply)?
You might consider what you would do if your source has an issue that syncs the to your off-site copy. If it isn’t a lot of data, you might want to keep another copy or two in either location that is created at a less frequent schedule but would give you a fall back.
As an example, if your files got ransomware encrypted and then sync’d to the off-site location, how would you recover your data?
Depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you’d like to, you can always add complexity to any backup or redundancy system. Is your server used for just personal use?
