    Look into syncthing for automatically keeping different machines in sync. I don't know if it'll run on your Nvidia shield, but it can pause and resume transfers as needed automatically. Just be careful because if you delete a file on one machine it can delete it on the other too.

    Look into restic for making backup snapshots. I use it for photos and documents. It'll save you from accidentally deleting files and lets you recover old versions of files.

  4. State of the art, file based drive pooling software.
    I have a folder on my desktop setup with syncthing so files get copied over to my desktop as soon as they've downloaded on the mini or when my pc boots up. The mini's Jellyfin instance also watches the downloads so I can stream things to my phone or TV as soon as they've downloaded. Once a week or so I boot up the external enclosure and copy over everything I want to keep. The external drives are pooled with DrivePool so I see them as 1 drive and everything gets mirrored onto 2 drives.
