Home server
HP ml310, with 4x 3tb drive, btrfs raid1, 6tb total space
1 external 4tb drive for important data backup
Backups, mostly semi manual Rsync
Phone: root, Termux, Rsync
Data sync, Syncthing
In EU reasonable HP ml310 can be 120€, and there are several 3tb HDD lot auctions, 140€. 100€ for a 4tb 2.5 drive. Total 360€ for setup. Plus 100€ for electricity and 40€ for parts maintenance. Total 140€ every year
I also use the server for VMs, docker, Pihole...
Backblaze and rclone also looks interesting for a cloud copy
