So many options… and the data is likely very precious so it is worth the time to review and test what you can.

I tried several different configurations and finally landed on the following.

I have a Synology that I have been running for a couple years now.

- RAID 0 w 2 14TB drives, 400GB is highly critical

The 400GB of highly critical is further backed up:

- external 1 TB SSD that lives at my sisters house and is updated monthly or so using Sync w encrypted EXT4 formatting

- B2 sync with 1 way, encrypted backup and nightly updates (using Backblaze’s encryption because Synology requires your device and if that goes… you are sol)

I friggin love it. I have restored things several times to test the process and it just works.

It only costs me $2/ mo for Backblaze B2 with that amount of data. Well worth it.

Good luck
