This isn’t high art, but perhaps it will be useful to others. Getting my family data reasonably well backed up and synchronized between our many devices was a harder problem that I expected it to be.
Looking at the final diagram in the article, though you've achieved your aim of redundant backup, it certainly ISN'T any simpler. If anything, it's a LOT more complex than simply buying dropbox storage and dumping everything there.
true -- it's more complicated. However I wanted encrypted at rest documents (and that's hard with Dropbox), and I need backup - not just sync, so Dropbox can only provide half the solution.

There's an opportunity for someone here...
