    My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

      Amateur. Mine is backed up to a massive raid-5 array of hundreds of free USB sticks I got from conferences. When one dies, I can’t be sure which it is, so I just add a few more.
