Best Overall Amazing Back Up Setup? 1K-4K Budget! Software + Hardware? Help!
sokoloff:
Could you be a little more explicit about the “caboom” scenario you are contemplating?
If you lose more drives than the redundancy limit, any non-replicated snapshots would indeed be lost, but that’s true of literally any system I think.

Loss of whole device.

Not if you have an offsite backup.

That’s the reason I included “non-replicated” in the post.

As interesting as the rest of the discussion is, I do think it's interesting too to search the solution space for something which actually gets close to this requirement. There seems to be a need for speed. A fair amount of older solutions like Borg and Restic are directory scan based under windows, so slow.
On Linux Synology already proves you can do near time real time incremental backups, with their 5 minute btrfs snapshots. Doing something similar with btrfs on your own computer would require a lot more tinkering, especially when you want file level access to an old snapshot ... no easy GUIs available AFAIK.
For windows similar technology, block based backup using snapshots, is available from Veeam and Ferro Backup systems (also R1Soft and Dell, but those don't really market to individuals). For file based backup Duplicacy seems to be the software to beat as far as speed is concerned.
