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?

A simple script using duplicity to FTP data on my private website with infinite storage. I can’t say if it’s good or not. It’s my first time doing it.
How do you have infinite storage? Gsuite?
I confirm that in the terms and condition they discourage the use as a private cloud backup and only to host stuff related to the website. Now… until now I’ve had no complaints as I’ve been paying and kept the traffic at minimum. I guess I’ll have to switch to some more cloud oriented version if I keep expanding. But it’s worked for now !
Some hosting sites advertise “unlimited” storage, but the fine print generally excludes “abusive users” from this policy. For web hosting, they’d probably consider backups of non-website data to a service intended for basic web hosting to be abuse.
Unless they have a home lab (sounds like they don’t) or fancy expensive contract with a large cloud provider (unlikely), this is asking for trouble. Nobody offers unconditional data storage for free, its always a loss leader for another service and abuse will eventually get you banned.
