Not to play '*use the Google, Luke*' but ....  '*use the Google, Luke*'  :)

There have been many (many) long discussions with a lot of ways people do 
this stuff over the years, including one that got into why (and how) you 
want to occasionally verify that your backups are actually good so that you 
could restore them successfully.   Lots of people with variants of bash 
scripts that save files, verify them, rotate NNN number of backups, feed 
them into places Dropbox can stash them to da'cloud, and the like.

What makes sense for your stuff depends on your setup.  For example - I run 
on ancient ARM debian and there's no Dropbox client for that.  In years 
(waaaaaay) past when I was on x86 I just rotated a copy to a Dropbox 
directory nightly and it was automagical and hands off.  Now I have to 
remember to periodically grab a copy from a Dropbox-enabled system (laptop) 
at home and let it sync up.  I basically only do that weekly as the VP2 
logger holds more data than that and weewx recovers from the logger as 
needed.

But there are no wrong answers.  Poke around the group archives and find 
the old threads.  Lots of good stuff in there.
