Three copies. The data on your server.

Buy a giant external drive and back up to that.

Off site. Backblaze is very nice
How to get your data around? Free file sync is nice.

Running a Duplicacy container backing up to Google drive for some stuff and Backblaze for mostly all other data. Been using it for a couple years with no issues. The GUI and scheduling is really nice too.
- kopia backup to 2nd disk
- kopia backup to B2 cloud
- duplicaty backup to google drive (only most important folder <1GB)
Most of the files are actually nextcloud so I get one more copy of files (not backup) on PC by syncing with nextcloud app
Not what you mean but I use BDR shadow protect and Datto. Depending on customers budget.
ZFS array using striping and parity. Daily snapshots get backed up to another machine on the network. 2 external hard drives with mirrors of the backup rotate between my home and office weekly-ish.
I can lose 2 hard drives from the array at the same time without suffering data loss. Any accidentally deleted files can be restored from a snapshot if my house is hit by a meteor I lose maximum of 3-4 days of snapshots.
I personally separate my files into two separate zpools, but they may as well be directories. One zpool contains data that while it would suck to lose, wouldn't be a disaster. That data is stored on a mirrored disk, but isn't backed up anywhere else. The other zpool contains data that I absolutely do not want to lose. That is stored on the same mirrored disk setup, but is also backed up to Backblaze every night using Restic. VMs which produce data I don't want to lose store this data in this directory, so it gets backed up too.
It’s kind of broken at the moment, but I have set up duplicity to create encrypted backups to Bacblaze B2 buckets.
Of course the proper way would be to back up to at least 2 more locations. Perhaps a local NAS for starters. Also could be configured in duplicity.
I backup using a simple rsync script to a Hetzner storage box.
