But your home server's drive can malfunction and then you're stuck. Unless you make regular backups I guess.
RAID1 is cheap. It's not a fool proof solution but has saved my Plex library a couple times over the years.
Hell, raid 5 isn't that expensive. 4 bay enclosure with some drives and your set.
You can even run most of your services on them if you choose wisely. I run all of my arr apps on my NAS along with the torrent client. I use a little SFF PC as my Plex server for the extra power to transcode.
Cheap and expensive are relative terms. A NAS enclosure and 4 drives of any usable capacity will be upwards of $2000.
Valid. Spent entirely too much on my 16TB setup in RAID 1 (total of 32TB drives) and I've got it half full already.
People regularly spend $100 a month on streaming services. It pays for itself quick.
Lol, no. I just built one for less than $1000. I used 8TB drives.
I do have a backup! I just use 4 HDD in raid 1, two separate data pools. so far works great, I'd love to upgrade them from 8tb to 16th one day but for my needs I'm ok for now
If you aren't doing more you have a parity drive, not backups, to be clear.
If a drive fails you can resilver and your data is fine.
If someone with write/delete access makes a mistake and deletes everything, or ransomware encrypt all your files, you can't just "restore from last week's backup" because you don't have one.

that's a good point! one day I'll get around to making a proper backup
