I'm sure there are more elegant solutions out there, but here's my method:
I have an inexpensive hard drive dock connected to my NUC home server via USB (with UASP support). I rotate two large-capacity hard drives between work and home, ensuring that one is always off-site. The drives are wholly encrypted, so I manually decrypt and mount the drive, and run a backup script that pulls any changed data from all devices on the network. I then take that drive to work and bring the other one home.
I have a calendar reminder to do this each month, and I'll sometimes run a backup in between the usual schedule when we're working on important projects at home.
