How do you backup important things you store in selfhosted clouds?

I’m currently thinking about hosting Ente myself for syncing all my pictures. Maybe also spinning up nextcloud for various other shared files. However, for me one main benefit of using services like iCloud is the mitigated risk of losing everything in case the hardware fails (and fire, theft, water-damages, …).

Do you keep regular updates on hosted services? Do you keep really important stuff on other providers? Do you have other failsafes?

    I have ResillioSync setup witch syncs between different family members. Both me and my uncle make offline backups of the dataset.

    My pictures on my phone are backupped by iCloud, OneDrive, Resilliosync and Immich … The exports are all posted in the Resilliosync dataset and in Immich.

    My most important files are on Protondrive and I used to make backups using Perfectbackup to my NAS, but since I ditched WIndows I need something else/
