Anxious about accidentally deleting a share

[lqpnote]

This is a weird one boys I know...

but is anyone else also nervous when dealing with your shares about accidentally a file? I follow trash guide's on file organization so everything I have.. literally everything.. all 147TB of data is in a share called "data". Initially I allowed a few friends to access my server through tailscale - filebrowser which has root access. I trust those guys with my life but I didnt trust that theyd accidentally  do something dumb because I would and I double check stuff 99% for the time. After a few bad dreams about losing data, I changed some things to make filbrowser only have access to the share "data" but still they could theoratically delete the file movies and that would hit me really really hard. I could also accidentally delete a share from SMB connection thinking its a file on my windows device instead of on the server... Am I the only one here? do I need therapy? of course I do, thanks for reading

For the filebrowser container you could pass it your data share read-only, so nobody can change stuff there.

For SMB there's the recycle bin plugin. For other operations on the server itself there's no safety net so you have to be careful with what you do.

If you use a BTRFS or ZFS filesystem, I would highly recommend taking periodic read only snapshots of your data. Especially if you dont have a lot of churn on your files the space cost for CoW snapshots is negligible and having them as a safety net helps the peace of mind.
