I have a slightly different approach - a piCoreplayer based LMS with storage on a NAS mounted via NFS.
The NAS is question is an old Qnap that is now incapable of running LMS natively but as a file stoarage device it still works perfectly and of course I can use it for non LMS file storage, amongst other things, as well. This NAS backs up the files on a scheduled basis using its built in Backup app. In power terms it ofcourse has a slightly higher power usage than a Pi on its own but it is silent and its flexibility means that if I want to build a new Pi based LMS I can do so very simply. In fact I have 2 LMS servers pointing at the same file storage and a further one (piCoreplayer) located remotely that points at a fully synced copy of the files on a another NAS located at the remote location - because I use the same mount point in each instance playlists will work on all three. For those that have a NAS but have found it now won't run LMS e.g. Synology following the perl upgrade this approach is a sensible, arguably slightly easier, alternative to a docker. It also means that there is not a single point of failure.
