You know that guy in the IT department who spends his time playing with the network and hardware (servers, switches, firewalls, etc.)? Do you think he would have many problems with setting up a personal backup that could be accessed from home? Other than the lack of desire to be the "do as I say, not as I do" type...
Hmmm... install the backup device preferably in the DMZ. Set up a firewall rule allowing traffic to that address from one external IP address, all other packets get bitbucketed. Disallow any traffic from the LAN side to make it harder to detect from the inside.
As for select content? I use some cloud backup for that but my current collection of external 8TB HDs are my main backup device.
