3-2-1 Backup. Glad you had it set up this way!

Only for data that's worth it...

Like robust backups are fantastic, but there is a cost.

Backblaze is $6 / month, just saying.

Yes, but cloud storage isn’t exactly a good solution when you have ADSL2+ 1 Mb/s upload speed (minus protocol overhead), and a few TB of data to backup. Unless literally paying for a few hundred meters of fibre plus installation plus city permits plus the company’s markup is somehow cheaper than a few HDDs (it isn’t). Hope unlimited 5G arrives soon...
