Answers & Discussion
Follow the 3-2-1 idea: three copies, two types of storage, one offsite. That can be laptop, external drive and cloud backup. It sounds excessive until a drive fails.
Backblaze is simple for automatic computer backup. Set it and forget it, which is what most people need. Cloud sync like Google Drive is useful, but it is not always the same as a full backup.
