It kind of backs you up from a drive failure only, but not everything else, like malware, data corruption or accidental deletions.
I personally use a 2-drive NAS and simply backup my files from...

This was years ago when I did something similar, but it started on the day you opted for the plan upgrade and goes a year out from then.

I actually do not like their sync option because you can't "sync" your backup folders. However, for others I see how this can be an advantage.

You're right. I was only considering disk failure. Given those scenarios, you would need a cloud service or an offline drive/nas to backup your files.
