Any point in backing up or redundancy for this? (alien.top)

Hey guys. Im using jellyfin to watch movies on my server and im looking at getting a 8tb hdd to start off. I was wondering if it would be stupid to have no redundancy because I kinda figured it would be pointless to me since if the drive was to fail I could just retorrent the movies again? My OS (proxmox) is on a 500gb nvme ssd.

I wrote a bunch of scripts that for each file I got from bittorrent, it removes it from the daily backups, and instead has a log of what file goes where and what torrent it came from. I've actually had to use it's restore function a few times because I'm trigger happy and sometimes ruin my server. One of these days I will clean up the script and make it portable...
