Posting my set-up for a quick sanity check...

I have a Windows 10 desktop machine (SSD boot drive plus a 2TB internal drive for storage) that I want to back up. I only really care about family photos, documents and such so my data footprint I need to protect is pretty small right now. No large Blu-ray rips or anything else that isn't easily replaceable. On the recommendation of some co-workers I bought Acronis for back up service ($69/yr iirc). The program seems ok... It does a full backup image of the system to a 6TB NAS drive locally and a cloud back-up of <500GB of multimedia/documents only. These are done weekly, and the software allows creation of rescue media etc.

Does this set up make sense? I'm coming up on a cloud data limit which will bump me to $99/year, and I am considering switching backup software to something like Duplicati/Backblaze. I like that Acronis is pretty hands off and runs in the background, but I wanted to see if there's anything better out there.
