For now my server doesn't have very important data most of it are your "Linux isos" I can just download again and I'm thinking of starting to move my file and photos to the server but in afraid. What if I get a ransomwarei don't realize and all my backups get encrypted too? Or if the backups are corrupted and my disks breaks? But also I'm afraid about cloud because I've seen some posts about people getting their google accounts closed without notice for breaking TOS (maybe they did something wrong maybe not).

thats why you dont backup important data with google, apple, microsoft, etc. even paid accounts aren't safe with these companies and it's very difficult to talk with a real person if you need help. you use a company whose sole purpose is for backups. i use backblaze
