Backing up Roon database and library

Would appreciate advice about backing up a database and library. My Roon endpoint is an Innuous Zenith 3. I read on a Roon web site that backup is strongly advised to avoid possibility losing this information.  However, I also have been told that Roon (and Tidal and Qobuz) don’t need backing up because they maintain your data as long as you subscribe and, if anything gets lost, it’s recovered when you log in. Which is it? Also, Roon has a backup function but the only destination showing up is Dropbox which I don’t subscribe to (subscribing to Roon, Qobuz and Tidal adds up).  It’s not seeing my nas drive or external hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help.

I had to use my NAS’ IP address in the Roon settings for Roon to connect to my NAS. Using the NAS’ network HOSTNAME didn’t work. Once that was done it has worked flawlessly.

I setup Roon to save up to four database backups, and setup the backup schedule to run twice a week.  It also seems to work well.  I have yet to try to restore a recent backup to Roon.
