How do you handle backups in 2025?

I keep multiple backups (local + cloud + offline)
I only use cloud backups (Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud)
I only use local backups (external HDD/SSD, NAS)
I rely on OS features (Time Machine, File History, Shadow Copies)
No backups at all – I trust my hardware and cloud services

Thanks for the advice. ChatGPT found the solution. I just had to disable Windows Fast Startup. Apparently, Windows re-enabled the Fast Startup option during an update.
