Any point in backing up or redundancy for this? (alien.top)

Hey guys. Im using jellyfin to watch movies on my server and im looking at getting a 8tb hdd to start off. I was wondering if it would be stupid to have no redundancy because I kinda figured it would be pointless to me since if the drive was to fail I could just retorrent the movies again? My OS (proxmox) is on a 500gb nvme ssd.

For pirated movies, I meaaan... linux ISOS, is fine not to have backups cause as you said you can re-download them. My SSD with all my jellyfin media died recently and it kinda sucked but at least I didnt lose anything important.

I guess most people in this sub that have redundancy with their media is because they rip the movies out of blu-rays they bought rather than download it. I also save copies of my ripped (legally) videogames.
