I have a dead simple backup plan that is basically free.

All my essential, must have info is stored on two 128GB microSD cards. One lives in a safe at home. The other I strap to my wrist. The cards are encrypted with BitLocker. A few trusted others have the decrypt/safe key.

The data is as safe as I am --- if not safer. If something does go bump in the night, all I have to worry about is my own personal safety. Even if I die unexpectedly in an accident, search and rescue will still likely deliver the data to my next of kin.

Let's face it --- no one is going to organize a search party if your on-line backup suddenly disappears or is being held hostage for "egress fees".
