I’ve been considering paying for a European provider, mounting their service with rclone, and thus being transparent to most anything I host.

How do y’all backup your data?

      It protects against drive failure. That is the threat I am most worried about, so it’s fine for me.

        drive failure

        Perhaps unintended but very much relevant singular. Unless you’re doing RAID 6 or the like, a simultaneous failure of two drives still means data loss. It’s also worth noting that drives of the same model and batch tend to fail after similar amounts of time.

          Oh, don’t worry they’re a random mix of old drives I had lying around, they’re most certainly not the same model, let alone batch!

          (But yes, fair call if you have a big Nas. I have 2TB in my desktop)
