And without survival instinct or adrenaline to distract during decisions, great!

Yeah, it started on day 1 though. Release day always sucks and the devs have been more than transparent

The gameplay is amazing, endgame has a few options and very rewarding gear acquisition mechanics. Currently the steam reviews are getting bombed because of server issues since release, which are getting better everyday. The foundational mechanics are great, class/mastery have room for additions and the faction system allows for different endgame focus areas.

I would highly recommend the game to anyone feeling overwhelmed by PoE or bored by Diablo.

I use backblaze as a target with duplicacy, pretty cheap and allows free downloads of up to 3x your data per month. I use about 500gb there.

3-2-1 means 3 copies total on 2 different media with 1 copy off-site. An easy way to implement would be make a local copy outside of your NAS/RAID(different NAS or external HDD) and create a copy of that somewhere in the cloud or hosting(backblaze for example)

You should probably not look at your whole storage when thinking about Backup, but create different logical pools. For example I have 3 pools: media files, personal files&photos, app config files for my docker.

I don’t backup the media files because I can reacquire them, I have a very strict backup policy for my personal files and a more relaxed policy for my config files.

I use duplicacy to manage a local copy and a cloud copy and do restore tests sometimes. Duplicacy can also manage retention of its snapshots so I can keep years old versions of my personal files but only a few weeks worth of config

Doesn’t matter, you are still effected by this issue since any images from communities you or anyone else on your instance follows get cached on your server, doesn’t matter if you actually looked at them or not. I would advise you to look into this if you are the instance admin and didn’t know this by now.
