Always a good idea. I must look into this more closely, because as you rightly mention, I am still reliant on hard drives, which although are server / NAS quality, they are delicate little flowers.
I swear by the 3-2-1 backup philosophy. My home server is mirrored to a box in my office. An rsync script backup's everything every night. It's a 1:1 copy of the data.
Currently I have 150Tb storage capacity with 105Tb used. I am migrating onto 18Tb drives for the 12's I have used for a few years.
Get a cheap CD/DVD burner, likely minimum lifespan of media 50-100 years(likely much longer) and 100% EMP proof....
Keep what you use on USB's and external HD's, back it up on CD/DVD..
Also cheap enough to have a backup to the backup of your backup.....

Unraid is a blessing.
