I also have a Pi2B running OMV with a 3TB external (laptop) drive hanging off it as a sort of experimental / secondary file server. As seems all too common with me any anything Linux based, the whole sharing thing seems to have a life of it's own. ;-(
Yeah, that's often the killer ... however, if it's only 'emergency use ...'?

She puts the drive in a raffle? Gosh.
Back in the raffle, yes.
Anything wrong with that?

You back up every day into a file named for that date. Then extract the file you want. It looks just like tar:
tarsnap x archivename /path/to/file
The compression and dedeuplication is transparent, so you see a complete 'tar file' for every backup.
So it's a command line interface to do a restore? I really can't be doing with that when I'm in a hurry.
Nice that the backup is to offsite and is secure, though.
Someone has written a web interface.
The whole command line thing looks just like tar, so it's not difficult.
