I run a N100 (6W TDP, 12W system draw) mini pc that is attached with a Synology DS220+ with nfs. The N100 mini pc was about $160 after tax and even though it it’s 4 core 4 thread, it doesn’t even sweat running jellyfin, home assistant, and my NVR. With NFS, you can mount the volume to mount only when the data is accessed so your Synology NAS actually goes to sleep when you don’t use jellyfin. It’s serious money saving in terms of electricity. As for the server backup, I just use active business backup on the Synology NAS which does rolling snapshots of the whole volume.
