Combined storage - I have a Synology NAS that has the ability to back up
to the cloud. That Synology backs up my Proxmox server and VMs, then for
media I have them on a local hard disk. That's mirrored to the Synology,
which backs it up to an external drive. If I lose my house, I'll lose my
data - but that would be the least of my worries...    :(
