I also will do frequent backups. I personaly dislike all kind of "cloud" storage. I prefer having everything under my hands.
After the years what ended working confortably for me is some machine with netbsd serving a ffsv2 (logged) partition through nfs, and using rsync for incremental (--link-dest) and full backups. No RAID, no zfs, just an rpi4 with usb3 disks. If you are going to try overtake netflix, no, this setup will not work, but for what I read, I think this would work ok for your needs. After doing some work I run a script to make the backing up, one of the full backups to an encrypted disk (cgd) I can take with me. I like to do this with an rpi4 because it takes little space, usb3 disk are ok for me and I can plug them rapidly to another machine, but again, it all depends on what are your needs. One little advise, think about what are your _real_ needs before building your setup, don't overcomplicate your life. Regards. adr
