My remote backup setup is below. You might get some good prices on the components on Black Friday (on the hard disk especially - the most expensive part).

Setup Raspberry Pi to boot off of hard disk, then you don't need the microSD card after initial setup. Encrypt hard drive. Install free UrBackup software server. Setup SSH access into Pi. Give to a friend and have them connect it on the LAN side of their router, and set up port forwarding for your SSH connection.
Safe, secure, cheap, totally automated remote backup. I disconnected the LED light in the drive enclosure so there are no obtrusive lights. And I turned off the cooling fan so the setup is absolutely silent as well no lights. The fan is not needed because the WD Red drives run so cool and quiet normally, and they are vibration free with a longer warranty - all reasons why I use the Red drives instead of the cheaper Blue drives.
