Additional data backups along with a cloud account? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey - what else do you all do to back your data up outside of just depending on icloud or dropbox? I'm just curious how everyone handles additional backups.

I have 2 NAS. One is located on my own home. The second is located remotely on my mom's.

I do not depend on third party service.

Yea I think that's smart. I asked my partner what he does and he didn't seem to realize third party isn't reliable.

I back up to backblaze and mega at the same time. I don’t have much so I’m using the free tiers. When I’ll buy an external drive, I’ll change to that from mega probably, to embrace the 321 rule 😋

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm trying to ask around and find the most useful solution. You've been helpful.
