I know that making networks out of duct tape and bubblegum is a point of pride in the Linux community, but if you have to store vital data, wouldn't a nice hardware NAS and a RAID array be a better solution?
How about an external HDD plugged into the Pi? Even a usb stick is better than writing it to the microsd card.
Either go big or go home. RAID or bust.
Remote mount datacenter storage pools or go home. If you have physical room for your disks in your house, you need to go bigger.
Going from NAS to SAN - nice, but playing Amazon/MS for keeping my data is a bit much, unless i have literal pentabytes that have to be high accsses.
I've grandfathered an unlimited account at an independent company with no storage or speed cap with physical storage in a country highly rated for privacy. Even considering Amazon/MS as a potential hosting provider is... Something I wouldn't do.
