If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?

It's better than no backup at all, but ideally it shouldn't be your only backup. Still, having any backup puts you ahead of the vast majority of computer users. If the data is truly of value to you, consider also keeping a second backup within your custody and away from your home.

I rotate two encrypted hard drives between work and home, performing a backup monthly and taking the newest backup to work before bringing home the previous.
