I have sonarr, radarr, gluetun and qbittorrent with overseer allowing my family to request movies and automatically download. I only have public indexers in prowlarr (1337x, kickass torrents, etc.)
This NAS also has a lot of important data like photos and documents.
I am used to vetting my torrents pretty thoroughly before downloading but now it’s all automatic.
What level of risk am I running with my data when downloading things in this manner? Is there a chance of malware getting onto my NAS? Ransomware? Is the risk pretty minimal?
Those should be backupped! And no, the NAS alone is not a backup, otherwise yo wouldn’t be worried.
It is backed up to a another drive that’s in a separate building. At least the most important stuff syncs.
