I have 2 external SSDs that I rotate keeping them offline and one offsite.
I backup weekly though my most used files are synced online so is sufficient for my use case.
Edit: I use Syncthing to backup photos/videos from phones to my laptop so they're included in the above.
I was going to point out that in many arrangements like this - which used RAID - the disks are stressed a lot due to the full synch a lame raid1 would have required; but you're not doing that. I think you're just bringing in the disk and synching files over to match it up, and I think that's a better move. If you're using syncthing for that, then that may be a pretty good setup. Are you doing the synch of the travelling disks via syncthing too?
No, I physically connect the drive, backup my files, then disconnect and swap out for the off-site drive.
