This sounds like "no true scotsman".

I back up to Dropbox and an external hard drive next to my machine. I've used both to restore my data on hard drive death.

I can't imagine the amount of time and/or money it would take to do what you want. It certainly doesn't seem like it is something most computer users would do.

I can set anyone up with a (for example) iCloud + time machine backup with very little work, and it will keep ticking over, backing up. What's your suggestion exactly?
