Interesting. Personally I went the other way round and stopped doing dedicated periodic backups altogether. Photos are on my computer, phone and the cloud. Code is in repos and the few documents I need in Dropbox. I use a local time machine disk that I plug in from time to time (which I reformat if I ever need to reinstall the machine.) My main reason for ditching periodic backups (backblaze) was that even in situations where restoring a backup would be useful, I found it easier to just reinstall the OS and pull a few repos. Nice thing is that this forced me to automate the machine "setup" so I just have one script that installs my cli tools of choice and links the correct config files.
