For now my server doesn’t have very important data most of it are your “Linux isos” I can just download again and I’m thinking of starting to move my file and photos to the server but in afraid. What if I get a ransomwarei don’t realize and all my backups get encrypted too? Or if the backups are corrupted and my disks breaks? But also I’m afraid about cloud because I’ve seen some posts about people getting their google accounts closed without notice for breaking TOS (maybe they did something wrong maybe not).
My backups are tiered. Some stuff gets no backup at all, some gets even more than 3.And I tend to reuse HDDs that got replaced in my main machine due to size for my backups. Power consumption hardly matters when it only runs for a few minutes a day.
