That sounds like a problem that you should deal with even if you stay on Windows 😄 Maybe I just enjoy organizing things

I do not and so I shouldn't be one to judge

Is it data that could be recovered if needed? That's where my concern is coming from. Not being able to back it up to fix OS issues might mean that you can't back it up at all

Not talking here about Linux anymore. If you have the data in only one site, and the data is irreplaceable, you have a problem right now. Having it in a RAID gives you some breathing room, but you still should plan and execute a remote backup, somehow. At least for the really critical data. Fire, floods and other phenomena are hard or impossible to predict, and you could lose everything. If it's not that critical, and you simply don't want the hassle of moving 60TB, I can really empathize with that.
