Apple TV, now with more Tailscale
I would argue that it is exactly in line with Apple's brand identity.
Pretty much everybody agrees that you need to backup your cloud storage as well as your local computer, and Apple even backs up your i-devices to the cloud, and yet, there is no automated way of backing up your iCloud storage.
About a decade ago, Google initiated the Data Transfer Framework[1] that allows you to transfer data from one cloud provider to another, directly from provider to provider instead of downloading it first. It sadly appears to not have gotten enough traction to be of any use.

Kopia vs Duplicacy
Once/If Data Transfer Project takes off, I’m hoping I will be able to schedule cloud to cloud backups without transferring data home first.

Apple Reportedly Storing over 8M Terabytes of iCloud Data on Google Servers
It's not just your parents.
I've moved everything to the cloud. I have nothing running at home except networking gear, and a small "server" that pulls nightly backups from the clouds to a local USB drive.
In theory i could probably do without the local server if looking at Apple/Microsoft/Google data redundancy (Microsoft is multi geo, i can't figure out what Apple is).
Sadly i need to guarantee that some random account closure doesn't remove all my data, so the backup server stays for now. The way cloud prices are going, it will only be a question of months/years before it's cheaper/easier to just utilize two cloud services, one for main storage and one for backup storage, and with projects like the data transfer project [1], you don't even need to download them first.

Apple now lets you transfer your iCloud Photos to Google Photos
That's interesting, and it's the first I've heard of the project. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Apple has yet released the adaptors to the open source project [1]. As much as I'm not interested in having Apple copy my photos to Google, I am very interested in scripting my own offline backups without having to make space for Photos.app to store all my photos on my laptop's SSD. Hopefully the adaptors are added to the project soon.

Researching what to use for purely local Linux home server backup (no cloud backups)
Pro: No need for a special index database. The chunks are placed in the file system. This explains it in greater detail. Seems to place great emphasis on reliability, which is important for me. Versioning is also supported.

Your privacy is optional
Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule.

Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?
I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0].
It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf.
Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region.
Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard drive occasionally that I keep off site.
