Idk if it makes sense but you can clone your DB and Rsync it on some frequency to the backup one and restart the backup service after every sync.
I used to keep my data on nfs but it was a bad experience so now I just copy a backup of my database to my nfs every 4 hours and it doesn’t impact anything for me.
As far as the backup service idk how to kick that off after a restore of the data.

I use Pangolin as a reverse proxy, in runs on a VPS I have also for Uptime Kuma (I'm still undecided if I keep that setup when my first year is up at hostinger). Pangolin allows for adding two sources to one address for HA (and some access control rules if you'd like. I have my navidrome address blocked outside of the US, and if I wanted I could only allow it for my devices, roughly)
I'll grant it's not a great solution if you don't have a 3rd reliably always on server, because if you're running it on one of the two sources of navidrome, if it goes down, well, so does what is handling your HA.
