If you really want to do your backups properly, you repurpose an old machine to be your backup engine/server and leave it on at home. It will backup your systems to an external drive. It can be any cheap old system and you should strip off of all none essential apps and not run anything else on it. Just let it sit in a corner or under the bed and back up your systems. Even better, for only a couple of hundred bucks you could buy a fanless industrial machine that is designed to live in hostile environments and do minimal work forever without any updates.

since so many treasured photos etc are digital now.

We have the backup of our backup on Google Drive. That isn't perfect because I don't know what happens to it if we quit paying the storage fee (a couple dollars a month from paypal)
