What about backups? My greatest fear is self-hosting valuable stuff (like family photos) only for my NAS to fail one day and lose potentially everything. | |||||||||||||||||

There are good options. Borg, rsync.net with zfs send/recv. Storage boxes from Hetzner Hard to make a particular recommendation as backing up to the cloud is a popular option but depends on your upload speed and rate of data change. And depends how much you're willing to spend for what tradeoff | |||||||||||||||||

I keep important data on a zpool that's mirrored across 2 drives, I snapshot it nightly, zfs send/receive the snapshot a drive on a different machine, and run a borgmatic/borg backup to borgbase 3 times a week. I also run a scrub on it quarterly. So I effectively have multiple layers of backups. | |||||||||||||||||

Once a year I sync all media from my laptop to a USB disk. Once in a while I buy a new disk. This is more than enough backup for me. | |||||||||||||||||
