On the other hand, storing things in "the cloud" is risky...despite what security vendors might say.
Sure - if you refuse to do any variety of cloud for offsite backup, you could do a weekly complete backup to a portable external hard drive which you lodge at work or a close friend's house or a local locker (gym, library, etc). This is what I used to do before the cloud was a thing.
