What are your offsite backup solutions (self.selfhosted)

I've been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I'm looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I'm just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

For internal "backups", I guess you could use a RAID setup or Snapraid. For offsite, I have a custom script that compress my data and shoot them to GDrive. It's not a lot of space so it's good. I don't backup media, I only export my photos to an external drive. Though to be good it shouldn't be in the same home as my server.
