How do you handle backup? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

I feel like other people seeding is enough backup for me. I don't backup my library at all.

how about personal stuff, like photos or scanned documents?

I use restic + Backblaze b2. Dirt cheap($6/tb/m). If you have more than a tb for personal photos and documents(provided that you are not some sort of big photography nerd), maybe it's time for you to delete some things...

I do too.. I mean I use borg backup + rclone + B2 ... I was asking OP about personal stuff.
