I have a nas with 2x10tb drives. I mostly just have music, movies and tv shows on it.

People talk about raid not being a backup, but is that relevant for non-original data? I mean I can always get the media again if need be. It would just be an inconvenience.

What would you do?

    I wouldn’t really class that as a backup, that’s like saying you have a spare tyre because you can always buy one from a garage!

      It’s different because when you need a tire, you need it now. When you need a movie it can wait 5 minutes.
