Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Apart from the few gigs of really private and self-made data, most of it would probably be replacable, it's just a matter of how much work that would be. On the other hand, I wonder how much of my media collection I would actually miss were it to get lost.
I will look into AWS glacier, thank you.
My line of thinking is that radarr and sonarr are my backups. If the drives went boom then just have those two sync my library. It may take a couple weeks but I can live with that.
Sounds like we have similar setups, and knowing that I'd highly recommend investing in automating as much of your current setup as possible so you can quickly get things back up and running with little to no interaction. Backing up configurations and library metadata might prove to be pretty useful in resurrecting a dead server.
Also rclone is going to be your best friend if you don't already have that setup
The egress fees from glacier are astronomical. So if you ever need them you might just decide it’s worth re-downloading. Last I checked Wasabi seemed a better option, but higher priced per month of course.
