Well I have a local /home for config data, but all my *real* data is on 
a /home/me on my Linux NAS

Along with partitions for music and videos. Which I don't actually 
routinely back up

In extremis I CAN access my NAS remotely. Like if I am visiting family 
on another continent, but I forget how. Some ssh port in a weird place I 
think.

The media server is readonly globally accessible though. via https/password

Handy when stuck in hospital. Full of e-books, music and old Westerns etc.
