Nice to see somebody taking it seriously and automating things to make it less of a pain.
In my case, my iPhone photos and movies backed up to iCloud only occasionally get backed up to a local drive at my office so I’m counting heavily on Apple. I might expand this to start doing a backup to an external drive at home but all those backups are magnetic media.
My work is all text files and documents for software projects and I back that up to multiple thumb drives that stay at the office, and a few more at home, plus a NAS at the office, and occasionally to DVD that get stored at home and office. I also make sure I burn DVD from different manufacturers to make sure I’m getting different production batches of the blank media, and I sometimes even back up using a different computer to not always be from one DVD burner drive.
But this is not automated and takes considerable time.
