    You need an encrypted cloud copy. 3-2-1 backup with duply to wasabi (AWS bucket-like). Otherwise you’re hosed if you have a fire/tornado/theft/etc.

      If you do 3-2-1 sans cloud you don’t need cloud options technically. As long as 1 is off site you’re adhering to it. Definitely not as convenient as 1 cloud option though lol
