It's quite robust, but it looks like everything will be destroyed when your server room burns down :)
Fire extinguisher is in the garage... literal feet from the server. But that specific problem is actually being addressed soon. My dad is setting up his cluster and I fronted him about 1/2 the capacity I have. I intend to sync longterm/slow storage to his box (the truenas box is the proxmox backup server target, so also collects the backups and puts a copy offsite).
Slow process... Working on it :) Still have to maintain my normal job after all.
Edit: another possible mitigation I've seriously thought about for "fire" are things like these...

Or those types of modules that some 3d printer people use to automatically handle fires...
Yeah I really like the "parent backup" strategy from @hperrin@lemmy.world :) This way it costs much less.
The real fun is going to be when he's finally up and running... I have ~250TB of data on the Truenas box. Initial sync is going to take a hot week... or 2...
Edit: 23 days at his max download speed :(
Fine.. a hot month and a half.
I'm doing something similar (with a lot less data), and I'm intending on syncing locally the first time to avoid this exact scenario.
