Let me make sure I understand the process here. You have multiple backups of your material, some of which you've created and it goes into your safe. Others go into your backpack. Some stay connected to your network? How often do you update each of these backup sources?
The vault cost me a few hundred. I store my passport, checkbooks, cash, etc other things in there. Most people should have a vault or safe of some sort.
I back up on a regular schedule. My portable drives are backed up whenever I have important files to back up - I then sync those to the NAS which then propagates it to the other servers when I get home. My NAS and other servers are done daily when I'm home. The one in the vault is backed up every time before I leave home on a trip.
Very easy and regularly done without any headaches at all. Easier than flossing my teeth or getting dressed in the morning.
If your data matters to you, then this is an extremely easy and effective strategy. I don't have tons of data trapped at a 3rd party's server somewhere, paying ransom month after month to keep it safe.
