> having backups in multiple places (3-2-1 backup!) is important

Yeah and for the vast majority of individual cybernauts, that "1" is almost unachievable without paying for a backup service. And at that point, why are you doing any of it yourself instead of just running their rolling backup + snapshot app?

There isn't a person in the world who lives in a different city from me (that "1" isn't protection when there's a tornado or flood or wildfire) that I'd ask to run a computer 24/7 and do maintenance on it when it breaks down.

My solution for this has been to leave a machine running in the office (in order to back up my home machine). It doesn't really need to be on 24/7, it's enough to turn it on every few days just to pull the last few backups.

If you aren't at CERN level of data - you can always rent a VPS/dedicated server for this.

It's a matter of the value of your data. Or how much it would cost you to lose it.
