I use Back In Time on Linux (which uses rsync) to back up data to a USB external drive. I backup critical data on 2 USB sticks one of which I carry with me at all times, the other one in a bank locker (this version of backup runs a little behind since I have to make trips to the bank). Not the most convenient way to make backups but I find it an acceptable trade off for me. Pros 1 No data in the cloud. 2. Multiple copies of backup one of which is outside the house (to guard against fire etc.) 3. I have the most critical data with me at all times. Cons 1. Data still in same city (does not guard against major earthquake, flood etc.) 2. Manual back ups (not automated on a schedule - though that can be set up on a home network, I just haven't bothered).
