Restic and Proxmox Backup Client for me.
Proxmox backup client goes to my local proxmox backup server, Restic goes to remote S3 storage on Backblaze.

Basically, Unifi needs to know where the unifi server is, but it’s assigning the IP address to it.
Set a static IP on the Unifi server.

Linux requires putting in some work to get everything working, just how it is right now.
Pick a distro you like, and stick with solving the issues!
That makes sense, but no remote backups over the network? Local snapshots I don't really count as backups.
How well does it handle backups, and are they deduplicated incremental ones like proxmox backup server makes?
Backups are usually encrypted from most popular backup programs, either by default or as an option (restic, borg, duplicati, veeam, etc...). So that would take care of someone else getting their hands on your backup data.
I never store my actual files on a cloud service, only encrypted backups.
For local data on my devices, my laptop is encrypted with bitlocker, and my Android phone is by default. My desktop at home is not though.
So … conclussion ???
Have backups.
Only 2 copies of your data stored in the same place isn't enough, you want 3 at minimum and at least 1 should be somewhere else.
Agreed, it's not user friendly at all.
Mikrotik HAP AX Lite
Looks like it's 2.4ghz only, which is really odd. Mikrotik is also really difficult to configure in my experience.
Typically a better setup is a dedicated router, and at least 1 dedicated WiFi AP, that way you've separated the 2 and can upgrade one without the other as technology evolves. TP-Link Omada APs are decent, as are Unifi.
One of which is how to sort out pi-hole given that my ISP has locked down the router tighter than a tight thing.
Easy way in that case is use Pihole for DHCP and DNS together. Assuming you can disable DHCP on your router.
Yeah the first time was the time/date bug they had (still have?) where it set the time on every folder and file to 00/00/0000 00:00 across all clients and the server.
Second time was I disabled virtual file support on my laptop so it would sync everything, but instead it went and wiped all the files from the server, because for some reason their sync client assumed the laptop that now had no files on it should be the master source or something.
Their own docs even state that's how you're supposed to disable VFS, with no mention that it will wipe your server clean.
This sounds more like running double NAT with 2 routed networks? Are your clients all on the same subnet, or does router B have its own subnet?
Make sure you're actually doing a bridge and not adding a second router, then everything will work including avahi.
