Okay I saw this posted a lot and apparently it is pretty common but why do people virtualize your nas in for example a proxmox server/cluster. If that goes down it gets super hard to get your data back than if you do it bare Metal, doesn't it? Are people only doing it so save on seperate devices or are my concerns unreasonable?

My NAS is a FreeBSD virtual machine. The drives are passed through directly to the Virtual Machine, so it is possible to take the drives out, and attach them to another virtual machine or bare metal computer running FreeBSD or TrueNAS and read them.
