I do two kinds of backup, local and cloud. Local means a few large 2TB+ drives which I sync every now and then using rsync. That is then backed up to my Amazon S3 account using Duplicati.
Local backups are only to defend against hardware failures. A fire will take it all. Cloud backups that you control and encrypt using software of your choice is a backup for your backup. That to me is a true backup. Though, I don't fool myself thinking it is 100% fool proof. But so far it has worked and I have tested it.
