Most people realize too late that they didn't have backups of their data or don't realize they can easily setup their own media servers at home. What do you use and suggest? Everything from beginner tech knowledge to advance. TIA

I use Onedrive for storing files offsite, and a Synology NAS for onsite. I've got my PC as the main source of my files, and use Syncthing to sync to my laptop and NAS, and Onedrive syncing the PC and NAS to the cloud.

I know Onedrive isn't always popular here, but it does everything I need, and is cheap. It also lets me access my files from my phone
