I take the approach that if I have a disaster, I'm getting new a new OS install, and maybe even new hardware. It's my data I care about, not the C: drive.

I store all data to a home NAS drive, and then on a regular basis run a ROBOCOPY batch file to a USB hard drive. I rotate several drives (all cold & offline) to have some versoning/protection against bit-rot and undetected corruption.

Once or twice a year I put a drive in a ziplock bag (water tight) to an off-site location that is fireproof and reasonably burglar proof.

I do not trust SaaS or online backups. Too easy to have my online copy get hacked or have my backup provider go out of business. My fate is in my hands.
