Well, no I’m not. You’re right. I miscalculated how much data was needed for video streaming. Even multiple simultaneous hi-res streams should stream fine with 1GbE.
But as an abstracted idea, you might want high throughput within your LAN for some reaosn, even if an ISP doesn’t offer 10Gbps to your house.
I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take “cloud” to mean “offsite” then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.
