Backup setup

I finally got a storage VPS with 1TB of disk space.
I plan to use it both for backup and storing some big files I might
use some day.
I was wondering whether is worth configuring a minio instance or just
write to the normal ext4 file system.
One thing I’m doing is backing up my Nextcloud instance with borg, so
the disk usage is going to increase .

Either. Run containers on that VPN and expose the underlying storage
via different protocols for different use cases. Just make sure you
use encryption at rest. Simple setup could be:

-       Minio container for S3
-       NFS container for NFS
-       Samba container for SMB
-       SFPT container for SFTP
-       …

Minio is only useful if you need S3 self hosted endpoints and
secondary if you run a cluster.
If you have only 1 server with minio and something happens, good luck
to get your data back in a readable state.
