When I first started reading about Time Machine, it was pretty clear they were building their own version of rsync. Have you tried rsync? All you’d need is a Linux machine (Raspberry Pi?) or a NAS of some sort out on the network. The problem with rsync is that it’s a command line program. I got around that by writing shell scripts to do the incremental backups and scheduling them with LaunchD. Not hard, but impossible for those allergic to the command line. Since you don’t have that phobia, you might want to look into this. There are a bunch of gui rsync front ends in the App Store. I’ve not tried any of them.
