Time Machine and bit-rot protection etc

Time Machine support is built in, and doesn't use a regular share - AFAIK there is no option to turn on CoW or snapshots for it. I use windows myself with Acronis backup - and don't have CoW/Snapshots turned on for the share with my image backups.
I'd suggest multiple shares for Media (I keep music, photos, movies, and tv in separate shares). One reason is that backup is easier if the shares are small enough to fit on one USB disk. (Even with btrfs/raid you still should maintain backups).
