Yeah no. When it comes to backups and data storage, I would rather use a proven reliable system that’s been used and tested by millions of other users, keep these hacky stuff for your hyperland set up.

I've lost more data to "proven reliable systems" than to my homegrown hacked-up stuff (which may be because I trust the latter much less).

This. My synology nas got pwned so many times i cant remember.

You're describing ZFS.

..running on illumos.

Not really, zfs is part of it, but not the whole picture, you as a user you need more than just a file system.

Truenas for example add replication, external cloud sync, gui (yes it’s important not to wipe your data with wrong command), HA, custom caching, containers to extend ot with other apps, raid-z expansion with openzfs, and other for monitoring, user management and a lot more.

Other solutions also add more than just a zfs with ssh access.
