For now my server doesn't have very important data most of it are your "Linux isos" I can just download again and I'm thinking of starting to move my file and photos to the server but in afraid. What if I get a ransomwarei don't realize and all my backups get encrypted too? Or if the backups are corrupted and my disks breaks? But also I'm afraid about cloud because I've seen some posts about people getting their google accounts closed without notice for breaking TOS (maybe they did something wrong maybe not).

I'd be more concerned to lose data that is stored in the cloud than on my private network.

The adage "there is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer" is still true.

If you are afraid to lose the data on your clients and servers in your private network, improve your backup strategy and make sure to have one backup off premise (in a safe deposit box if needs be).

It doesn't hurt to improve overall security on your private network, either. ๐Ÿ˜‰
