I’ve been using one drive for my phone photos backup, joplin notes store and keepass. It seemed like the most economical solution cus other vendors don’t really offer 1TB, it’s usually something stupid like jumping from 200GB or 2TB. Don’t know if I should invest in a NAS or something, but I just don’t wanna deal with the hardware and networking if I have to open some ports at home , unless I can use cloudflare as well
You need a way to connect to your home server from the internet, yes. You can do it easily using cloudflare tunnels or using one of the many vpn systems for your phone.

Immich is a self hosted service that imitates Google photos Tailscale is an easy way to access your network remotely
Look into Syncthing if you have a home server - very easy phone backups that cost nothing.
Don’t even need home server, regular PC with a disk will do. Just fireup syncthing on both devices and voila. Can set syncthing to start on pc
Yep, absolutely.
Although when doing so, that would make your regular PC a server. Doesn’t stop it continuing to be a regular PC as well.
Ya but wouldn’t I need to open up ports or host a VPN ? Otherwise my phone won’t backup unless I’m at home

According to the website it uses UPnP. So it might still work.
