I use NextCloud on my personal Start9 server to backup my phone and computer.

What do you use

yes via USB cable

Syncthing or onsey-twosies via signal sometimes.

I recently did it

I’ve used iCloud extra storage for only $1 a month. I think it’s a pretty good deal even though I could just transfer everything to an external hard drive

I used to do this but then I got tired and gave in and now I’m all in on iCloud backups. I’m weak

Me. Just did this recently, and i know there are easier ways. But there's something about doing it manually that gives me a sense of "it's done right".

I self-host Nextcloud.
