On top of all my redundancy, I still keep a 24TB External in my fire safe that I pull out once a week and run FreeFileSync on all my hosted service content. I then safely put it back in cold storage. Simple, effective, might work in your use case without a ton of effort.

the least expensive solution is two identical external drives of sufficient size and use a copy program (like FreeFileSync) to keep them synchronized.
Nightly, I would mount Vol2, run Freefilesync as an admin and mirror the contents of Volume 1 -> Volume 2.
I live by FreeFileSync, it’s been a game changer for me.
