Thanks Bob. Yeah I've already been stressing the need for a backup strategy. Possibly a combination of a freenas with zfs1 (3 drives, I already have most of the parts to make it work) and nextcloud as part of the strategy. (plus offline) Love freenas. (now i'm wondering if the network would be quick enough to work off a share) So much to learn.
