I have a similar setup (a dell wyse 5070 connected to an 8 bay enclosure) though I do not use RAID, I simply have some simple rsync script between a few of a drives. I collect old 1-2TB hard drives as cold storage and leave them on a bookshelf. The rsync scripts only run once a week for the non-criticial stuff. Not to jinx it, but I have never had a hard drive failure since around 2008!

I think that's a good idea. It's a more manual setup but also more space efficient (if you skip backing up eg linux isos) and causes less wear than RAID.

  At least for now, until VPNs become illegal, I haven't worried too much about _all_ my linux ISOs being backed up.
