Wouldnt this just cost even more?

Could use personal plan from Backblaze for 7$ a month

I'm sure there's alternatives

What's a cheap backup plan here?

If you don't want to store online: Tape, blu-ray, usb harddisk, nas that only gets electricity when backup is runnning. Preferably a combination of those. Don't use sd/ssd/nvram.

Do test your backups though.
