I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

Borgbackup, using borgmatic as a frontend, to a storage VPS. I backup dozens of machines this way. I simply add a user account for each machine on the VPS, then each machine backs up over ssh to its own account.
