RAID is redundancy. It saves your data if a or two drive fail, but does not help you if the entire RAID system dies (power surge, fire, water damage). Generally if it is on the same system it is not a backup.
Actually it does. I have a nasPi running openmediavault with portforward and i can get access it anywhere in the world. Japan, usa, eu it doesn’t matter as long as there is internet.
Don’t wanna fiddle with the tech stuff. Get a Synology and make your life easier. Best thing is you can upgrade it yourself. No longer bound by 200gb or 1tb but all the way to 10tb and more! With redundancy as well. No this not an ad for Synology but damn does it work good.

Get a NAS and start de-Googling yourself.
Don’t forget to make backups!
A raid counts as a backup, right?

Doesn’t help me when I’m 200km from home and need that file or note or picture…

Oh really? Hmm I guess me being able to access all my files anytime, anywhere is just some kind of magic that only I know! I’m a wizard!
Seriously? How’s it doing that without exposing your home network?
Exposing isn’t the same thing as being insecure. You can setup things like a reverse proxy to help secure yourself.
