Yes, Local NAS / second computer is only a partial solution.
Obviously if you live in an area with volcanoes, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires or war your off-site backup needs to be suitably stored and the risks of the so called Cloud are lower than the local neighbour or relative.
We might have a burglar, house fire, lightning strike or a hurricane, but flood, wildfires, wild animals (like bears or racoons), earthquake, volcano or invading armies are unlikely (No fighter aircraft, air defence, early warning radar, warships, tanks, artillery here so obviously invasion preparedness is low on Government priorities).
