An alternative to RAID1 on 2 * 4TB.

PCIe NVMe adaptor with 4 TB. Big spinning rust disk on USB 3. You use the 4 TB SSD 24/7. Backintime or equivalent backup to the lump of iron. You can then recover to the day or hour or whatever your backup is set to. Some will backup every file the instant a file is closed.

Somewhat similar to what I do though what I do is a little more complex to setup.

I use a BTRFS root file system (which needs a modified initramfs) with on demand snapshots that are backed up to spiining rust overnight. User data (/home) is also on BTRFS and backed up in a similar manner. cron handles that without the need for additional software.

Pi that need their user data backed up mount /home from the one above over nfs.
