I'm paranoid about data loss, so I have a (IMO) pretty darn good backup regime. It's robust and easy. The main thing I worry I'm not protected against is bit flips.
My wife is the one who takes most of the photos in our family. For her computer (MacOS):
1) Back up her computer to USB hard drive via Time Machine every day or two.
2) Back up her computer to a USB hard drive in her office (via Time Machine) when she takes it in, about once per week.
3) When her drive starts getting full, move photos to a larger USB media drive attached to my computer. (Every year or so.)
For my computer (MacOS), including USB media drive:
1) Back up to a "main" and "redundant" USB backup drives continuously (every hour or so) using Time Machine.
2) Back up Mac hard drive, but not media drive, to "main" USB backup drive every night using SuperDuper.
3) Back up to the cloud continuously using BackBlaze.
4) Swap "main" USB backup drive with an identical drive stored in a safe deposit box (every 3 months).
This provides a nice combination of convenience, redundancy, and recent off-site backup.
