How the hell does one back up all that?

Thanks to Dufus falling out of my killfile, I saw his reply to
your post.

So I thought I'd answer you:

And you'll need 8 of something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-IronWolf-Enterprise-Internal-Drive/dp/B0B94NBBJH/

And...size components to fit budget.  Consider that you probably want
10Gbe connectivity to your NAS, so you might need a new NIC for your
computer, too.

$ df -tnfs4 -h

(I have a new Synology sitting in the box, along with two sets
of disks for two new volumes.  Haven't got a round tuit to get
it online yet.)
