My work is using Google drive for Sync/back up so that is covered by them.
Personal data is automatically synched (syncthing) between three computers in different rooms in my home + some of the files is copied to my phone and tablet. I consider adding also an online server for further redundancy
rsync over ssh (my server is in the next room) which puts the backup on an internal drive. I also have an inotify watch to zap a copy from there to an external USB drive.
I have a compressed copy of the config files on my server on a separate drive, and every night restic makes a snapshot and stores it in a separate drive attached to a raspberry pi 3.
