maybe your hobbiest server doesn't need a off-site backup but an instance of a massive social media network expected to be used by many users absolutely will. and sorry, but your nas simply will not cut it as far as throughput goes. it's just not designed for that much activity.

You keep missing the point so hard I think it's intentional.

First off, necessary and recommended are two very different things. 4chan running for the last decade on outdated software with no backups is proof that you absolutely can run things without a backup. It's not wise, but not REQUIRED.

Secondly, OP was up there acting like 5Tb is prohibitively expensive and is gonna keep instances from being made. As me and other hobbyist have pointed out, 5tb is a joke. Those of us running little bullshit servers have WAY more. So asking someone trying to set up a social media server to have 5TB is nothing. If that seems like a lot to you, then you shouldn't even try because it's clearly way beyond your depth.

you're even more missing the point. the cost of the CPU needed to run such a server is going to be more than the cost of storage by a large amount. it's not about the storage, and it's certainly not something most can do, otherwise we wouldn't be here arguing over it cause someone would've already done it lol
