Default offsite backup to my home

As per title.

I would like to backup the E drive of my shop server to my home network overnight every night if possible, I would like to automate this process if at all possible.

For reference the E drive of the server does not contain system/windows files.
I can do a first time backup using an external hdd the first time so that I don't have to upload GB upon GB of data the first time.

I am probably looking daily less than 100MB to backup (on occasion will be several GB but that will be rare)
I currently use syncback in the building to do hourly syncs to another machine in the shop, but really want a realiable way to get the data backed up off site as well.

What options do I have ?

SyncBack has an FTP option as well.

Crashplan free version will do this.
You can also do an initial backup onto USB and take it home and put it on your computer.

So many free and inexpensive offsite programs...why pound the crap out of your home connection? Spend nights at home trying to do online work and grumbling about the internet connection being so slow....

The easiest is Logmein Backup, cheap license and it just works, and will do exactly what you want.
