My NAS has been a backup server, Jellyfin archive, and file storage for years, and it could still do so much more

A home labber shares how they've evolved their NAS usage beyond simple file storage and media archiving. The setup now includes automated Kopia backups, a Proxmox Backup Server VM for home lab snapshots, rsync offsite replication, and self-hosted apps like Nextcloud, RomM, Audiobookshelf, Paperless-ngx, and Immich. The author also cautions against overloading the NAS, keeping demanding workloads on dedicated Proxmox nodes to protect the central backup hub.
