But there has to be a better way to create automatic backups.
If the way you are doing it works, there isn't a better way.
So to me, the place to start is to make sure what you are doing is working (if you haven't).
I mean having one copy on another cloud provider isn't very deep.
As in only one cancelled credit card from failure (or maybe two).
Or two compromised credentials, at best.
Backing up either sucks or it isn't really backing up. It is not a good place to look for efficiency, because not backing up is always going to be easier than what you are doing.

Good luck.
