how much backing up would you do of a media server? (aussie.zone)

I have a nas with 2x10tb drives. I mostly just have music, movies and tv shows on it.

People talk about raid not being a backup, but is that relevant for non-original data? I mean I can always get the media again if need be. It would just be an inconvenience.

What would you do?

What’s the cost on the drives and tapes? (Roughly)

Tapes aren't bad, I can get few dozen TB off eBay for a couple hundred. Drive was crazy though. Dropped 2 grand on it and it still isn't that good of a drive.

Oof.

Yeah, last time I looked the drives are stupid money (I feel like the should be much cheaper).
