Back up system

I'm currently looking at setting up my new MBP and also upgrading my backup system. I currently use WD passport ultra but not overly impressed with it as sometimes it says its all backed up but I know this is incorrect. I'm hopeless when it comes to computer so that's why I need advice. I quite like the idea of cloud/NAS working in the background with another external hard drive plugged into it backing up also. What advice could you guys give me on this or different options. Like I said not the best with computers so any advice would be much appreciated

Cloud backup is the way to go for many different reasons. There are many systems out there. I have tried several and each time I find a good one they change the rules. Just make sure you find one that is automated and one that you can back up your external drives with no extra costs involved. Also you want one that has unlimited backup limits.

Amazon Prime membership includes unlimited photo storage, and they include RAW in that. The main issue I find with it is that the desktop app is so basic, but if you already have and use Prime, then it could work for you.

All Apple computers come with a program called TimeMachine. That's all you need... You can plug your USB drives into the computer, and add the USB drive to TimeMachine, and TimeMachine will start doing backups automatically... After it does a complete backup... every hour after that, it backs up any files that have been added or changed in the last hour...

Google Timemachine by apple, and read up on it... You can add multiple hard drives and TimeMachine will manage them...

You can basically boot an Apple into a recover mode with NO OS... and tell TimeMachine to restore your computer, and it will do that... without the disk/activation mumbo jumbo of a Windows system...
