    I have a 12tb external HDD for now, set it up with an Emby server so I can access it anywhere. Total cost was around $200. Gonna replace it with a NAS with like 80TB so I can keep it safe forever. This is the way.

      Rather than a NAS, consider building an Unraid server, I built my first one from old hardware that I repurposed, my current one is a little more sophisticated but not over the top.

      Unraid can be setup as an automated media server with all the ARRs running to manage your library.

        Os use casaos, tippi, cosmos, or any of the free alternatives that don’t absolutely leech you and work just as well with minimal config

        If you don’t mind me asking, what are the specs on your machine and about how much did it cost to get started.

        +1 for Unraid, setup is super easy and being able to mix different size disks is pretty awesome. Their Docker catalog is nice but I try to avoid spinning too much up on my NAS itself- its CPU is a hand-me-down from one of my old gaming PCs.

      Storj.io has great prices for storage, and using apps like Duplicati you can run backups to storj. Be worth starting there, so your stuff is backed up, then work on a NAS.

      Evem with that backup, I’d work on a second backup solution. I’ve been screwed by a combo of RAID failure and Crashplan fuckage, twice. The rule of 3 backups exists for a reason.
