I do once a day rsync my data to another drive. I can restore a file, if I accidentaly deleted it. Important stuff goes encrypted via rclone additionaly to a hetzner storagebox.

To back up my Synology: My first level is an old Synology, the second is Amazon Glacier.
I used to have everything backed up to a 2TB USB drive. Which I accidentally dropped down the stairs. I lost thousands of family photos and documents. That changed my backup perspective.
I now have a Synology NAS, with 12TB in a RAID5 array (for a bit of disk redundancy). All my home devices, Proxmox servers etc back up here. The NAS also holds a few TB of media. Attached to it I have a USB hard drive (also 12TB). The NAS gets fully backed up to the USB drive nightly.
I also have a remote Raspberry Pi with a smaller USB drive (4TB) attached to it at my brother's house (in another country), where I backup most of the contents of my home NAS. I don't back up the media, just the important stuff. I might have to upgrade to a larger drive...

Git Annex.
Took me a while to wrap my head around it, but nothing comes close to it once you set it up.
Edit: should have read the post more carefully, I use Git Annex both locally and on a VPS I rent from openbsd.amsterdam for off-site backups.

Veeam backup and replication at home and at work.
My truenas backs up to B2 Backblaze. Set it up years ago and haven't touched it since.
(you should test your backups)
You may have, but this is a friendly reminder just in case.

I use OneDrive. Buy the Costco subscription and get like 15 months for around 110 CAD. GIVES 6 TB. I create some fake accountsink the sharing to my main account. I have an encrypted rxlone share for some things and others I GPG encryot the tar before sending it up. Been working fine for a couple years and I have multiple TB backed up.
Restic using resticprofile to configure and schedule backup runs.
AWS Glacier. I use the Synology plugin that does it automatically on a schedule.
Their prices are ridicules if you add cost of outbound traffic.
But if not (for disaster recovery only) it is pretty cheap. Like 1$/TB/month.
I hope to never have to restore from there. It’s not something you’re to do frequently.
I use nightly borg backup to a separate box and then that box uses rclone to back up the borg repo offsite. Before running the borg backup I export all databases and docker volumes so they get picked up.
