If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?

    You’re just missing the part where I want to be on vacation without the need to find a decent Internet connection to boot my server because the power went off. What’s the plus of encrypting the OS partition too?

      Fair enough. Every service I run depends on encrypted data, so starting the machine without decrypting isn’t worthwhile in my case. I have to decrypt to get everything back up after power loss anyway.

      Main advantages I’m aware of for full disc encryption are encrypted swap and system config. Overkill for some use cases so YMMV, but wanting to point out that decrypting at boot can be done.
