iDrive e2 with duplicati and manually to an external SSD with rscyn every so often.
I was planing on asking a friend to setup a server at their home, but I feel somewhat comfortable with the current solution.

I use Proxmox Backup Server for my backups. Everything backups to 1 system at home. I then sync the data store to a little NAS I have at a family members house across town and also to a cheap storage VPS on the other side of the country. I also do a manual sync of the data store to a single external drive that I manually connect and disconnect.
None of my data hoarding files are backed up as that would cost way too much. That could change if I ever find a killer deal on an LTO8 or better drive and tapes.
I know that Hetzner has some decently priced Storage Boxes that you can mount using rclone and then backup to. Keep in mind that latency will be a factor so it could be slow.
3 sticky notes telling me to "go get that incremental backup working",
2 separate external hard drives,
1 month out of date

I've a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It's not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.
