Thankyou whole community for any help
You do not need RAID. But if I were you I'd get a second HDD and back up files to it once a month. You don't need to keep this 2nd HDD running, just bring it out for backups. There are lots of nice backup solutions on Linux you can use, I can recommend BorgBackup – it takes snapshots and it does compression, deduplication and optionally encryption.
