Hi,
First post and all that. Really happy JellyFin user. I have been ruminating about backups. I have a process that backs up the config for Jellyfin and other containers nightly. However the size of the media content is now measured at over 30TB.
To back it up would be expensive when you consider that 95% of the stuff I have can be reacquired from the "usual" places with minimal difficulty and even if not, not a major issue if I cant. I am kind of torn because its good practice but the cost to setup even an onsite backup outside the server is going to be several hundred £.
Do other people backup their media?
