The second system is always one set of system updates behind the current
one, which provides some insurance.
Should disaster strike, I need only use my other system with the latest
backup and I'm back up and running in a matter minutes.
But that still doesn't save me from stupid. A second cup of coffee

I use rsync. I manually rsync the working disks to the backup disks
every week or two. Working disks have the shares to other hosts. If
something happens to that data, deleted by accident or encrypted by
malware. Meh.
