So is there any way currently for a Nostr user to protect/save/backup all their own posts and media files? Or must all Nostr users currently trust and rely on larger 3rd party relays to host their media files?

I think nip-95 is the only way.

And I personally think it's a good idea but most people really don't like it

It's a good idea, as it adds decentralization and censorship resistance to our media, matching the properties of our text. I think was a bad idea to essentially force relays into accepting them. We just need specialized relays for this and I believe we'd be fine.

Absolutely, another great use case for private relays. Very easy to host your own media, but very hard for a big relays to host everyone's

If I host my own media, do bigger relays ALSO have to store my media in order to pass my media on to others? Or why can't they just RELAY the data instead of storing it?

You can use a client, like more-speech, that saves all notes to a local database.
