What do you use for offsite backup? Since best practice recommends 3 copies on 2 different devices where one device is offsite.

I thought about renting a storage box from Hetzner to use as an offsite backup but I was curious what you are using. And also if there might be some cheaper alternatives to my proposed solution that are equally as easy to setup.

I sync OneDrive to my Synology as well, another reason I'm okay with the "double" traffic is that my and my wife's photos from our smartphones immediately get backed up to our Synology, even when we're away from home.

Exactly. The best solution is one that is simple, covers almost all scenarios and generally doesn't require rethinking when new things come along.

I do wish the Apple stuff played a bit more nicely - my wife uses it and it's honestly the biggest headache of the design.
