I admittedly do not have a good data recovery plan. A house fire and it's lost (assuming the drives are beyond repair).
I'm kind of hoping a good+cheap service actually comes along. All I'd really need to do is take a backup to work though and swap them out once in a while -- but I'm not disciplined enough for that :)
Rereading my post, apologies if it came across harsh. I'm in pretty much the same boat. My kids are right about 5 and it is crazy how much I've managed to accumulate. I'm currently forcing myself to edit down pictures when I get a chance and paying for Amazon's cloud drive.
I certainly wish things were cheaper, but all of the "do it yourself" options have left me more than a little worried at my own lack of discipline working against me.
Backblaze has worked very well for me. It took two months to upload but now it stays synchronized. When I had a disk failure I had them overnight a HDD to me for $250.
This is why I worry about cloud backup — as things stand (local + periodic offsite backups), I periodically flatten and bare-metal-restore my systems for the sole purpose of testing backups, so I have a reasonable level of confidence that the backups will work as intended when disaster strikes. For $250, I'd probably never do this.
