You guys are scaring me. I don't know much about all that fancy stuff. I
just do a basic backup of my catalogue & files. Not even an SSD or
USB3's yet.

I have my catalogs on a 2TB external drive, and use the SSD in my MacMini for
software and the scratch disk. I have TimeMachine backups to two other
external drives. Since I have had a couple of very close calls with total data
loss, I also have an automatic backup to Backblaze.
Obsessive-compulsive? Me??? Never.

Amazon Photos is perfect for backups with unlimited storage of RAW
files. You need at least two copies, with one copy off-site, to call
it a safe backup.
I'd add that you need at least one copy which is normally disconnected from the
computer so you can't accidentally delete anything, nor have it encrypted by
ransomware etc.
I'm about to change my backups slightly because my Time Machine backup doubles
as my working drive for photos (the SSD in my computer is too small to hold my
photos). Not only is it a bit slow to transfer files over USB2, it's even
worse if the computer starts a backup while I'm working. So I have a USB3 SSD
on the way which will become my working drive for photos, with the old HDDs
still serving as backups.
Cheers,
Dave
