I have three SSDs with two for storage space, one for the system and one
USB drive for backup. All drives are lvm/luks encrypted. Many
backup solutions exist and i don't know OpenMediaVault, but since few
years i'm using borgbackup and rsync & i'm happy with it.

Debian using Samba and SSH.
The backups are managed by the clients, but periodically I save part of
the NAS to Amazon S3.
I also have a remote Nextcloud server which my clients use to share a
small working set of documents and files. It's on Akami (nee Linode) and
is very fast in my region and pretty cheap. I used to do this on AWS but
Linode is cheaper and simpler for my applications
I'm also in the process of converting some of my storage from Dropbox to
Nextcloud

Another OMV user for several years and have been happy about it. It's a
NAS system based on Debian (latest version based on Buster), on top of
which it provides its NAS management layer and you can control what to
install or not. There is no ads, no telemetry, and it manages my ZFS
raidz1 cluster without any issue for several years, and the system
itself takes less than 5GB space, so I'm not sure why you'd call it
bloatware.
