I backup using a simple rsync script to a Hetzner storage box.
Zfs z2 pool . Not a perfect backup, but it covers disk failure (already lost one disk with no data loss), and accidental file deletion. I'm vulnerable to my house burning down, but overall I sleep well enough.
cronjobs with rsync to a Synology NAS and then to Synology's cloud backup.
Backblaze on a B2 account. 0.005$ per gb. You pay for the storage you use. You pay for when you need to download your backup.
On my truenas server, it's easy as pie to setup and easy as 🥧 to restore a backup when needed.
On hope
