Copying the data to an external drive and keeping it in the same location as the original is even worse. Where do it put it? The bank only has so many safe-deposit boxes - mine doesn't have any available atm.
Giving the drive to friends or family isn't viable either because I need to encrypt the data and need to store the keys somewhere. So the cloud, i.e. AWS, Azure, Backblaze, etc. is actually a pretty good place.

There is a reason why it is 3-2-1. > Giving the drive to friends or family isn't viable either because I need to encrypt the data and need to store the keys somewhere. ? You don't need to store the keys anywhere, just a password. And even if you can't remember passwords, the threat model "friends and family" allows for easy passphrases or even sticky notes with password hints.
