I've got a Synology NAS that hosts all my docker containers for things like Immich, Paperless, Jellyfin, CalDAV, Seafile etc.
Obviously its vital to me I don't lose my Contacts, Calendar, Photos, Documents etc. My personal files total 100GB at the moment (mostly Photos).
I'd rather not lose my Jellyfin media but realistically I could just download it again and as its 5.5TB and growing, I don't think there's a cost effective way to back that up to the cloud.
Currently, Hyper Backup uploads my /docker folder (contains all the databases and config for the containers) every other night to a Backblaze B2 bucket. A max of 5 copies are kept, to keep the bucket under 500GB or $3 a month. My Home Assistant also backs up to another bucket every night, but this is only 1GB so I keep up to 30 copies.
Once a week, I have my /docker folder sync to Proton Drive via RClone, since I have 500GB free storage on there which I don't use. My upload speed is quite bad (40Mb max) so I don't want these backups to happen nightly as they're quite often still going in the morning when I wake up.
One thing I was thinking about is getting a second cheap NAS to sit at my parent's house. If I put 16TB in there I could give them 6TB which is more than enough and keep 10TB for myself to backup my media and personal files again. It's a lot of money up front but may well be worth it. It also gives me another Tailscale exit node.
Another thing I was thinking is setting up an old Pixel with Syncthing to upload everything to Google Photos without hitting storage caps, but I have been trying to completely degoogle everything for privacy reasons so I may have to resist the temptation of free unlimited photo storage.
