After Christmas, I think I’m going to spec out a simple two drive 10tb RAID server running a pair of K80s so I can run my NAS and my models on one beefy machine and have all my backups automagically when I am home.
Fair point. I’ll probably run a RAID5 with extra drives and replicate to a cloud location for DR. Should be more than sufficient for my needs and the rate I generate data. I haven’t done any specing out yet – just brainstorming.

A raid is not a backup.
But also look at Unraid and maybe more, smaller drives.

I’m new to the scene. If a raid isn’t a backup, then what is?
It provides redundancy in case a drive fails, but there’s no protection if you accidentally delete a file. That’s why they say “RAID is not a backup.”
Something where your files won’t disappear due to a single errant command or ransomware.
