Do you feel comfortable using cloud storage for so much of your content? My ideal is to be entirely self-backed-up. I want a personal git server, photo archive, etc. With bandwidth, service costs, vendor issues (dealing with google seems like a nightmare from reading online).

How did you construct your NAS? Is it a single system, or multiple hard drives/storage solutions connected to your network?

It depends. Github is not going down. Gmail is not going down. If they do, it's Bug-out-bag time, and I am working on curating what information subset I need for that.

Ideally though yes I would have my own entire backup system but I frankly don't trust myself enough to do it right, so hence some redundancy in the cloud.

The NAS I am still designing actually :p
