Okay I saw this posted a lot and apparently it is pretty common but why do people virtualize your nas in for example a proxmox server/cluster. If that goes down it gets super hard to get your data back than if you do it bare Metal, doesn’t it? Are people only doing it so save on seperate devices or are my concerns unreasonable?

      Yeah this is what I do. Pass the hda card through to OMV and have a union fs with snapraid. I then periodically back up to an external HDD.

    Just because it can be done it doesn’t mean that is a good idea to do it. It all depends on what is your are trying to do and your risk profile. For me Networking, storage and computing are all in different devices.
