I have a nas with 2x10tb drives. I mostly just have music, movies and tv shows on it.

People talk about raid not being a backup, but is that relevant for non-original data? I mean I can always get the media again if need be. It would just be an inconvenience.

What would you do?

    My brother also has his own NAS at his house. We sync our media between both of our servers to both share it and to serve as an off-site backup.

    Everything else on my nas gets backed up to a cloud provider.

    Like you said, it could be replaced it’d just be inconvenient, and media is kinda bulky so cloud storage for all of it would get a little pricy.
