Guide: How to Recover Encrypted data from un-mountable SHR BTRFS without NAS

mergerfs

Most NAS owner would probably be better off just using single drives (not JBOD unless done like MergerFS, and using the parity drives for a proper versioned backup. It of course means that you’re not presented with a single large volume, but that also means that if a drive fails, you only need to restore the data from that drive (or only lose the data on that drive), and there is no raid rebuild process.

Cryptomator

For things that absolutely cannot wait, I’d recommend using the cloud with end to end encryption instead. Something like Cryptomator makes it easy and transparent, and works across desktops and mobile devices. The cloud has MUCH better uptime, redundancy, security and resilience than anything you have at home. If you limit the cloud storage to “important stuff”, chances are you need less than a TB of cloud storage, and most providers sell that at way less than the electricity cost required to run your NAS.
