I've always felt sketchy about backups, I never know if the right data is backed up! Should I just export the vault to flash drives?

No that's too sketch, it needs to be encrypted. One to a flash drive, one to the cloud.

MUST be encrypted.

Veracrypt or just an aes256 string are good starts

So export>encrypt on desktop>store on drive, is that at least passable?

Yes good start, but you have to be ready for your house to burn down, must have off-site storage

Put an encrypted copy on IPFS?
