the more important the data, the more backups you should have, with at
least one should be off site.

good advice.

an off site backup needs to be much more than in a garden shed.

should disaster strike, you might not have either one.

an off site backup could be at a friend or relative's house many miles
away, or maybe even across the country, or in the cloud.

a backup drive could 'go broke' at a moment's notice. 

the cloud is just *another* backup, not the only backup. if they go
poof, it's no big deal, just find another cloud service. the only
hassle is uploading, but some accept hard drives for the initial
backup.
