Yeah, I really don't think there exists always-online data storage that you don't have to babysit. I've broken my setup so many times that I can almost rebuild it from scratch in my sleep. I should point out, part of the reason I do this is as a learning tool. I feel like you learn a lot of neat tricks when you build and run this stuff on your own, and I think that there's really no negatives in the software engineering world to being proficient with the command line and server administration.
