I do, have backups for everything, and backups of backups and offsite
backups, etc.

What I mean is that i.e. I have a NAS machine that acts as a backup
server for all the rest of my machines. Yes the rest is also cross
backed up scattered here and there. If I lose the NAS I don't lose no
*unique data*

Still, the exact organization of THIS machine's filesystems is unique
and would be long redoing, it may hold some timeline snapshots that
other storage doesn't have or doesn't have anymore etc.

I can lose any of my filesystems without losing critical data. I can
live and survive this way.

Still, losing a given FS with subvols, snapshots etc, may be very
annoying and very time consuming rebuilding.

Kind regards.
