Greetings and congrats on your decision to start a node!
1) initially, umbrel is available only on your local network so pretty secure. If you want to enable remote access, you use tor (considered secure) or (maybe even better) you install Tailscale app to access it remotely with a private encrypted vpn (based on wireguard).
2) there are many apps for photos. I 'd like to recommend nextcloud. You can use it for all your personal files. And all members of your family can access it. Locally or through tailscale. Of course you can connect to your umbrel and any app from your smart tv
3) for backups maybe it is best to switch off umbrel, disconnect the drive and use a different machine to copy all the files to another drive. You can even use the "dd" command in Ubuntu to create an .img file in your pc (which will be a clone of the drive)
4) as far as i know , currently @umbrel doesn't support multiple usb devices (maybe i' m wrong and you should check with them).
PS. : I would like to recommend also electrum server app. After your node is synced, install "electrs " so you can connect all your wallets and they will do fast syncs. (Sparrow, blue wallet, etc...)
Hope this helps🤙
