I'll say again: backup drives must have a physical write enable switch on them. To all the people who argue against this - just you wait till it happens to you!
Not having multiple backups is also a very bad idea. One day my 8T drive slipped out of my hand and smacked on the floor. That was the end of it. But I wasn't out my data, just out the cost of another drive.
Cloud backup is a stupid idea. At any moment it could go dark, for any reason, and you have no recourse. Might as well bare your throat and hand some random stranger a razor.
