For my 28Tb of disks at home, I use Backblaze cloud backup. Between backblaze, and an unlimited data plan, I've dodged a few bullets. Very few of my disks are "young", and so I lose one every 6-8 months. When they go, it's a simple case of replace disk with new, and download offsite backup. This takes about 1 week, or less if I download at work also.
One can encrypt the data on the off-premise storage if needed.
Having some new, shiny, power efficient, and likely faster disks would be a great step up from the rabble I'm running. If I lived down south, the office could double as a central heating unit. No value in Nth QLD however.
