OpenVFS and Systemd-Homed possible?

I’m into selfhosting and Im looking for a way to centralize the Userhomes and have a better Backup of these files.

The idea is to use a virtual filesystem to sync needed data to the client PC and have Homed to encrypt userdata and store the data on server.

That way I do not have to backup the client PCs.

What do you think? And are there any working examples out there?

    Thanks for the hint. Long ago I also used syncthing. At that time it not fit my needs. But in this case it may is a possibility.

    Any best practises for excluding files in Home for syncing like .cache ?

    As far syncthing does not come with a vfs.
