I ended up running the minecraft server on a win10 vm using duckdns, and running a second win10 VM with a program called Syncovery for Google Drive backup.

Bottom Line Up Front: Are there any security or performance concerns if I were to run Google Drive Backup & Sync on the same Win10 VM as my Minecraft server? Hello all! I've been using Unraid for about a month now to build my first-ever home server on a Dell R720xd. Loving the software and all of the community guides/support available. I need the server to serve the following functions: Media download/management/storage (no cloud backup, local only) Photo/document storage with backup to Google Drive Host a Minecraft server for friends I've got all of the media management taken care of using SpaceInvaderOne's excellent videos. Currently I have a Win10 VM running the minecraft server (I considered using a docker for this, but I am more familiar with the server management in Windows). The last piece of the puzzle is getting my photos and documents to sync to Google Drive. I initially considered using RClone for this, but I would like the sync to be automatic and bi-directional. Google's Backup and Sync application has worked well for me in the past on my laptop, so I've decided to run it in a VM. I could run it on the same Win10 VM as my Minecraft server, but this strikes me as not ideal since minecraft is allowing connections from outside. Is there a security vulnerability here? Currently I am routing the VM through my binhex-qbittorrent privoxy, and I have DuckDNS on the VM to point a domain to my dynamic IP. Would it be more secure/easier to spin up another VM with very minimal resources to do the backup and sync? Thanks a lot!
