I use syncthing to sync photos and videos from my phone, and my wife's, to a home server. Then gmvault to backup my GMail account locally.

From there, I use restic to make a first copy to an external hard drive, and then a second copy goes to Backblaze's B2 service, so there's three copies on two different mediums, with one copy off-site.

It's been rock solid over the past year or two, and the cost is about $2.50/mo with B2, storing around 450GB. Restic has been bullet proof; when I thought it was failing, turned out that a stick of faulty RAM was the true culprit.
